“Why does God always have to make everything so difficult? I know we are put on earth to test our faith, but why can't He make our time here a little more enjoyable? Why does everything have to be such a cross?”
― Julia Scheeres, Jesus Land a Memoir

“That's why, to me, it was comical that, at family reunions after I went to college, folks had the audacity to ask me, 'Why don't you come to church anymore?,' as if anybody would choose to be around people delusional enough to think that their hypocritical asses were going to heaven. As if anybody would want to frequent a building built on judgment and bigotry, though they tell themselves they've made 'god's house'. God should've tore that shit down brick by brick. God should've evicted every damn body who was more worried about my queerness than doing close readings of the book they used to condemn me.”
― KB Brookins, Pretty: A Memoir

“Life isn't that simple. People aren't that simple. You can't cut them into slices like a cake, then throw away the bits you don't like.”

“Like, you walk away from a person you can't help, you don't want to help, and you leave them there in your old life with all their problems and their sorrow, and you're risking the version of reality where you could have fixed them. I can't fix anybody. I've got my own shit, we all do. Every time you leave someone's life you risk being the worst thing that's ever happened to them, or the last thing to ever happen to them, don't you?”
― Sarah Maria Griffin, Eat the Ones You Love
