I couldn't even get through nextian's post from ages ago, because of the difference between what she was saying about "Christianity" vs my experience of Christianity (oh, great, we're back to experience again!). Plus... *not* appropriation! These *are* my stories, as much as they are Jewish stories. ("These" being those in the Bible.) But even so.

Anyway, yes, it's all difficult but anyone who tries to take away what are as much my stories as theirs... yes.

(Clearly I am incoherent. Hey, God, words would help here!)

~uses icon that has been called appropriative, but that has particular meaning to me~
