Wholeheartedly agree with you ladies' perspective on faith, religion & a personal relationship with God. I was just talking to my cousin abt this & she was speaking abt how our "lifestyles" & "preferences" (we're both queer) have damned us to hell & she accepts that...I'm like but why even bother serving a God that is going to condemn you for love who & how you love? Especially if He's a God of love && He's given you the choice?... The indoctrinated teaches of certain religions LITERALLY don't make sense & contradict themselves. Smh & I've NEVER been okay with the "You don't question God" talk...Like if God didn't want us to ask questions or think for ourselves then WHY did he give us the abilities to do so? Why would God give us all these capabilities JUST to stifle them?? It only makes sense w what?: BLIND FAITH...the same shii that kept my enslaved ancestors in the fields & on the plantation.
That whole check list thing is a part of religion that’s unnecessary. A lot of it is what man came up with to oppress a certain group of people. I’m personally more spiritual in my walk with God, and I wholeheartedly agree with getting to know him for yourself outside of man’s stipulations.

I think the word may be resonate
