Oppression.

I can't believe it. I just want to scream. Why is it that in this mecca of Christian Pentecostalism that I feel the most un-welcomed and oppressed? Can't people see that not allowing full participation in the body of Christ because of gender, race, or age is completely sinful? We are so quick to call racism a sin but why is sexism not?! STOP PRETENDING JESUS DIDN'T INCLUDE WOMEN! STOP PRETENDING PAUL IS GOD! STOP PRETENDING I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY!

I want out. But the thing is I'm stuck. I have one more God-awful year in this place. I can't believe how much I used to love this place. Now all I see are the strange inconsistencies and frightening lies that are being taught here. So that I why I'm coming up with my top 6 things that make me want out of Lee:

6. How hard is it to include "her" or "she" when you're talking about pastors?
5. Dear God, can't we get some other people other than white old men to speak in chapel?!
4. Most of the good professors are now gone.
3. Let's face it, I can't wait to get out of the south... y'all.
2. I need an ocean.
1. I'm tired of being patronized and having my head patted because they know that they don't have to ordain me.
