If the way you mesh it is "this is just my interpretation of the religion, personal interpretations of the religion are valid, and my interpretation of the religion is that it is feminist," are other non-feminist interpretations valid? Is all religion a personal interpretation? If, for example, you were arguing with a religious conservative, would you say that you are correct and they are not, even if they are also interpreting the religion in their own way?

If it is all up to personal interpretation, is there any objective tenets or beliefs that make up what "Christianity" means (assuming it is Christianity due to mention of Jesus)? Are they feminist? If the God or Jesus you believe in is a totally separate-sounding God or Jesus from the one someone else believes in, are you still both Christian? Who is correct? What makes both of you Christian if you believe in a feminist God and they believe in a non-feminist God, if they're different Gods and you can't imagine your God would be against lesbians being married, but theirs most definitely is?

I don't know if I'm being coherent here.

I think they are valid in a cultural sense I guess. Like, I don't think any sort of view that wants to restrict others is valid, but I think that personal interpretations within a culture can be more okay because things are more nuanced. Like, in certain time periods, those restrictions were maybe necessary or at least valid. And I think the same can be said for certain cultures.

To me religion is a personal thing, though it can also be a cultural and social thing. But the actual truth is impossible for us to define. I think there is a Divine being, I think there is a God. And I think that there is ultimate truth that exists. And part of that truth is equality. And I think that any religion that restricts some people is wrong on that part, though they may grasp some other aspect of the ultimate truth. There are things that are right and that are wrong. But you can worship or do religion how you want, as long as you aren't telling others how to do it.

But I don't think we're going to actually know what that truth is until we're dead.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I believe. I haven't put it all together yet. I generally just stick with the "believe what you want, but you don't get to tell me what to believe" philosophy. I figure it will all get sorted out in the end.

I understand that bit and yeah, I respect people's personal beliefs. Whether or not I understand or believe it's real to them and you can respect that part. I guess the last question became more a question about what being Christian means, and if two people believe that being Christian is two radically different things (e.g. one believes feminist and the other believes non-feminist), what does the word really mean? If a Christian is anyone who believes they are Christian, does it mean anything at all other than to the ones who claim it?

Honestly, I don't know. I've become more and more interested in the Orthodox church lately because one thing they really emphasize is the mystery of God, faith, all of it. There is so much we simply can't know.
