My faith has endured despite all the rubbish I’ve heard about women and my queer friends, despite all of the hate mail and insulting messages I have received from conservative Christians who despise my feminism. My faith continues to exist because I have an understanding of humanity as screwed up, of male-led institutions as narrow — blinded by misogyny and sometimes very dangerous for the vulnerable — and a sense of God as large, expansive, forgiving, infinite, and both incomprehensible and intimate.
