“If God had wanted us to think with our wombs, why did he give us a brain?”

“But if God had wanted us to think with just our wombs, why did He give us a brain?”

“God has given us more than fourteen billion cells and connections in our brain. Why would God give us such a complex organ system unless he expects us to use it?”

“He is not a punishing God, Lizzy. That is the mistake most people make, thinking He sits with an account book and a big fist, waiting to punish us. He is not a wrathful God but a loving God who made each of us and loved us since we were in our mother’s womb”

“But I did feel, and passionately, that it wasn't fair of God to give us brains enough to ask the ultimate questions if he didn't intend to teach us the answers.”

“There are so many of us, so many girls. The world wants us for our wombs or our bodies, or it doesn't want us at all.”
