This is a personal essay I have been trying to write for a very, very long time. It isn't sparked by one thing in particular, but it comes in response to, and accord with, things I've read by

I remember the first time I was told that the Old Testament God was angry and vengeful, and that the New Testament God was gentle and forgiving, and obviously superior. I can't begin to say how angry that made me, and I was just a kid and she was the grown-up next-door neighbor, so I couldn't talk back. No. We are more. We are so much, and so few people want to hear about it. It doesn't count the same way. But I'm glad I read this, and that you wrote it. I will always be happy to see you write more.

Holy what I do not know what to say to that except hello, sudden blinding rage!

We had this Shakespeare camp one year held in my temple where a tiny Christian girl told me about how misguided and sinning and silly I was. I've never forgotten that she felt like she could say that in my temple, to my face.
Thank you so much for reading, and for assuring me I'm not crazy. ♥
