Meggie Royer quote ✍️

Quote

My lack of faith in God is not a dilapidated house. It does not need to be razed to the ground or burned down to cinders. I refuse to be the wounded woman on a crossthat you crucify with your disapproval like nails; I will only be the woman who believes in thunderstormsthe same way lightning loves the tops of trees it strikesevery time it gets tired of being pent up in an unforgiving sky, the only difference is that I believe these are natural weather phenomenons, not God’s belly rumbling or synapses firing. When my doorway is filled with groups of peoplewielding religious conversion pamphlets like crossbows, I will be the martyr who steps aside to let the arrowscrack through the plaster in my wall instead of piercing my chest. This is not a eulogy to the believer I could have been. This is a battle cry to the believer I always have been, believer in sunsets like splashes of paint, handholdinglike willow branches brushing one another, new morningsafter old nights spent drowning in despair, believerin love as an entire language instead of a single word. Just because my beliefs align themselves on a different spectrumdoes not mean they are the wrong wavelength or color. And even though I think the universe was created by the Big Banginstead of a God with magic dust shooting from his fingertips, my universe does not contain fewer stars.
