In my deconstruction of Christianity and church in my life, I am trying very hard not to assign a gender to God. It is so unfair to be engrained with something before having a mind to choose for myself.
agreed, I find myself avoiding using "he" both with describing God or what we deem as the Holy spirit. God is bigger than gender and especially being limited to the human understanding of a "man" , which seems to indicate being only half of something for me as a woman.
Loved this! I also went to a catholic school for a short time even though I was’t catholic and one of the most surprising things was how content many of my classmates were with Catholicism. That was strange for me because I was always Spiritually/Religiously curious. I enjoyed how you described your journey beyond that cage. Also James’ walk through was so enriching. You can’t touch, taste, smell, hear, or see a heart/mind shift you just know it when it’s there✨

Out of curiosity what is the language you use?
I just try to say God and not use a pronoun at all. I’m not perfect at it, but it is at the forefront of my mind.
Same when I can help it.
