"We often say that God is on the side of the oppressed and marginalized. It's important to parse that out a bit.
"When we say God is with the oppressed, that God is in suffering, it's not that suffering makes your more holy, it's that God is still there with you, on your side
"God wants you to get free. There is divine power in getting free.
"The goal isn't for us to suffer more to be holier or feel closer to God... the goal is to get more of us free!"
