“The biggest change in my worldview was that I stopped believing in fate, I guess. That I stopped believing that I had a destiny, or that I was destined to be something, which is a really big part of Christianity. Especially the Protestant… It is kind of like “God has a plan, it’s all figured out.” And I was terrified growing up because there’s the idea that you’re either saved or you’re not. And you might not know which one you are. But it’s already decided for you. So I was always terrified that I was one of the bad ones. This is why I got this tattoo. There’s a Bible verse that’s like ‘at the end of days, God will separate the sheep from the goats.’ And I was like, well, how do you know if you’re a goat? You don’t choose to be a goat, you’re born a goat. You never have a choice. You can’t become a sheep. So I think that was the biggest conflict for me, the biggest source of tension. I want to believe that we have a choice, that we have power over our own lives. I don’t know if that’s true. I still don’t fully know if that’s true, because it’s so much more complicated than that. But I want to believe that’s true.”
