“Sometimes we need people to hunt the things inside of us that need to die but that we aren't ready to kill.”

“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?”

“We have a thing for bone yards, as we do for all things death-related. It's part of our religion, the topic of countless sermons: Where will YOU spend ETERNITY? THE AFTERLIFE: Endless BLISS or Endless TORTURE? We are haunted by these questions. If we die tomorrow, will we join the choir of angels or slow roast in Hell? We're not sure of the answer. So we are drawn to graveyards, where we can be close to the dead and ponder their fate as well as our own.”

“For me, keeping up appearances for strangers in pews feels more backward than anything else. Deeming every girl that doesn't perform high femininity as a "curse", and deeming femininity you don't like as "Jezebel behavior" surely is a U-turn straight to hell. But to our family, it was just a part of being a god-fearing woman raising god-fearing (read: normal) girls.”

“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.”
