11. Choice is essential to me.

Apr 2015

I am a person of faith, but I would not attend a church that discriminated against women, hated gays, or excluded people of color. However, if I am a guest in another church, say attending a funeral or wedding, I make every effort to be respectful. I do avoid certain situations because I know that I cannot sit quietly and listen to total bs. I have Catholic friends, but I long ago gave up attending any services because I am not going to tolerate a sermon telling me women need to have lots of babies, stay home to raise them, and go to hell if they have an abortion.
