Character concept: Evangelical Christian social conservative who believes in traditional gender roles, but exclusively uses “she/her” pronouns for Jesus and smugly corrects anyone who uses “he/him” to refer to him within their earshot.

Become politically unexpected. 😜

"it's not gay if it's Jesus"

...Ok even if I was a nun instead of another secular atheist like yourself I STILL would've snort-laughed.

Love any chance to think seriously about the majesty and utter crazy that is Christianity. Thanks for publishing

Glad you liked it! There’s plenty of other things I could have gotten into - top surgery and phalloplasty scars as stigmata, transubstantiation, Jesus and eunuchs - but this was long enough as is. Another thing to note is that while I mostly use “Christian” as a general term in this piece, the symbolism I discuss trends Catholic, while the religious aspects of CSJ seem more obviously inherited through Protestant thought.

That elaboration on surgery etc would make a great additional article!

Misses point, then pretends he's the one who made it.
