I am a Christian. I don't often write about that, because religion is full of unique individual experiences, while secular discourse admits only reproducible collective experiences. (It's far from the only thing that depends on unique individual experiences - ones that are real, and can't be proven on demand.)

Organized religion often turns into an appeal to traditional, prophetic, or other un-contestable authority, and this corrupts both the spiritual and secular discourses. But disorganized religion can still bring healing, understanding, and better action.

I also have a certain tension between my ties to Christianity and to what I believe is G'd* in humankind - and my need to more fully relate my femaleness to my spirituality. (I bought into the half-true myth of androgyny too long; that myth made me feel guilty for being a dyke, and for realizing that the female is not the same as the male, is not dependent on it, and is not complementary to it.)

Anyway, I thought I'd signal-boost this:
