I really appreciated this, especially as it's something I struggle with often. I have very mixed feelings about Christians doing all these wonderful things. The struggle is especially real when it involves children. I hear the praises, "_______ is amazing! So wonderful with kids!" And inside me I hear a voice that says, "Unless they're queer. As long as they don't bring up any of the mythological stories from their Norse heritage." Etc., etc. And I can't partner with them because I remember where their rigid religion and gatekeeping has done a lot of spiritual harm.

I applaud this kind, thoughtful, yet challenging response.
