Belief

"Tell me about the God you don’t believe in, and I probably don’t believe in that God, either."
Marcus Borg
REAL TALK.  It’s time to stop pitting religion/spirituality against science/atheism.  It’s a false dichotomy that implies there is no middle path, no rational, science-friendly form of religion, and no atheists/agnostics who have rejected their own traditions (or those of others) and make unfair generalizations based on their limited experience.  
I am an intersectional feminist who rejects gender roles; believes in evolution, global climate change, women’s rights, and full LGBTQ equality and inclusion; my definition of God was developed by a mathematician/physicist/philosopher; and I am a churchgoing Christian.  If you think these positions are at odds with each other, I invite you to consider your biases and preconceptions.
