“Well, I do feel like I should mention that I think virginity in general is an arbitrary construct designed by men as a system of control and fear. And it’s heteronormative. And limiting, because why do certain sexual acts preserve virginity and some destroy it? What if I fucked a dildo every night, but I hadn’t fucked a man? Why doesn’t anal sex count? And what if I was with someone and penetration wasn’t an option, for any number of biological or emotional or identity reasons—would that make our sex less somehow? I’d be a virgin forever?”

“It’s called theodicy. When people try to explain how God can still be good when bad things happen.”

“I'm still furious with God over what happened to Lizzy. But I realized being furious with Him is not the same thing as wanting Him out of my life.”
