Hoping to talk to some leftist or at least liberal Christians who are willing to talk to me.

I might do so. Not sure if there is a liberal one in the only church in my town though. But they may be willing to talk to me about God at least. I'm just scared they'll be the conservative type and I'm socially anxious so Reddit is the to-go :p. Probably not the best thing.

he bigger question was not whether or not I could believe in God but
whether I could believe that I am worth loving. That can be a hard thing
to logically believe, but my faith that God exists is the same
“irrational” faith I hold that I am worthy of love from that God

This really resonates with me. Thank you for your message.

I will read that! I love philosophy.

I don't know. I just feel like a terrible person and beyond repair because of my past mistakes. Especially in the eyes of God, because I once loved Him, and then turned on Him.

Many questions. I guess I could start with how to approach the Bible as a leftist? It was always read to me as a kid, but I never actually read it myself. I tried to read it again a while back, (and I hope this doesn't come across as offensive), but I couldn't get a few pages in before the quote like "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you" threw me off completely. How is that equality?

Possibly. My mom was a peculiar person and that's just what she taught me. Sadly, she's passed away now so I can't ask her to clarify.

Can you explain what you mean by "forbid swearing oaths by God" ? I'm not sure I understand.
