This also fits well with my experience.

I always struggled with the Patriarchal systems and the explanations that “this is just the way we do things” and the black and white divisive certainty that those who knew ____ were saved and those who didn’t were damned. Those who did this set of things were good and those who said or did this other set of things were bad. “Shoot” was acceptable but “Shit” said with the same intensity was not. I was “loved” by my church youth group because Jesus and God loved all BUT I wasn’t liked or respected. I asked too many questions, I liked too many different people. At the same time I cannot visit a church/ temple/ mosque/ holy place without saying an earnest prayer to the Gods and Goddesses and I inevitably leave with tears of my fervent prayers dripping down my face. We can believe in the feminine divine wisdom and in a nonbinary Spirit and accept that throughout the world there are people who celebrate Spirit with rituals unique and similar and none of us have to be wrong.
