Oh, the multiplicities of self! Wonderful that you embrace and accept the many. I loved this piece that resonated with me and others in exile.

Spinoza said that the core beliefs of the Bible are justice and charity, everything that is not justice and charity is not the religion

You are surely in the right country! We are a nation of boundary crossers, as our name says. Keep making things complicated, Chaya!

I appreciate the love and thoughtfulness implied by your grappling with these questions of complexity. I am a liberal Christian in the U.S., and could relate. Most people who call themselves Christians in the U.S. are right-wing. Zealotry knows the bounds of no religion.

Any fair reading of the Bible encourages one to be tolerant and kind to all.

Thank you again.
