Wow! I have a cover! I am covered! 
Too many goddesses to shake a stick at, sweeties! Let’s look at the happy ones today: Euphrosyne (Greek goddess). Goddess of Joy and one of the three graces. She is the happy smiling one, bubbling over with laughter.And last but not least by any means, the totally scatalogical Goddess Baubo:
Hotei (Japanese Shinto-goddess). Hotei is a Japanese god of happiness, laughter and the wisdom of contentment.
Iambe (Greek goddess). In Greek mythology, Iambe was an old woman who made Demeter smile or laugh when the latter was mourning the loss of her daughter, Persephone. She was a daughter of Echo and Pan. She was the first priestess of Demeter.
Uzume (Japanese goddess). Japanese god of Laughter and Merriment
Baubo (Greek goddess). Baubo appears in the story of Demeter & Persephone. Demeter was very sad at the abduction of Perspephone, and wandered the land in mourning, fury and despair. She would not let anything grow and the other gods were becoming desperate. Then Baubo appears: she has pendulous breasts with eyes for nipples, and she speaks from her vulva. Baubo swings herself onto the well by which Demeter sits grieving, and begins to tell Demeter rude jokes with her fanny. Demeter eventually starts laughing and they both sit and laugh, and from that moment on, Demeter allows living things to grow again.For more, go visit HappyGods.com.

“'I can’t get a job, I have no money, I can’t get married, what can I say?' For Mr. Sayyid and other young Egyptians, religious fervor offers an answer...." For more go HERE, to the New York Times. 
It’s true that Devil worship, or “Satanism,” seems to be a growing problem -- among American teens at any rate. 
Allowing our C students lunch, recess, visits to the school nurse -- and even toilet paper! 
Even among Pueblo Indians today, “motherness” pumps the brain full of “something other than the kind of sentimental respect for motherhood that is reflected in American's Mother's Day…. It is ritually powerful…. So central to ritual activities is it in Indian cultures that men are honored by the name mother...."
No, I’m not saying burn books fascist fashion. I’m calling on good Christian men to burn their own Bibles. 
In their article “What Is This Thing Called Love?” in New Scientist (Vol. 190, Issue 2549, 2006), Anderson and Middleton say it best: “Of all the forms of love, none seems as deep, strong, selfless or enduring as the love of a mother for her child, nor is any other bond so ubiquitous in the animal kingdom.”With this kind of love as our model, how could we miss?

“Isn’t Goddess religion a pagan religion? And aren’t pagans sexually licentious?” 
Here’s a mathematician after my own heart, speaking forth on the 6000-year-old war between the Haves and the Have-Nots (i.e., 99.999999% of us). (Thanks to Morgaine over at The-Goddess for the link): There is ONLY ONE WAR on this planet, and it’s the 6,000 year old war between the 0.5% vampire elites (or "Have's") and over 6 billion human cattle (and counting). Just think about that. It's like an incurable virus or bacterium that has infected humanity for thousands of years and all we do is KEEP DYING FROM IT.For more go HERE; you won’t be sorry you did.
Except THIS virus is not invisible. To the contrary, the vampire elites live like Greek Gods and they have multiple palaces/mansions and servants to prove it.
Probably the biggest scam the astronomically rich 0.5% of the human race now use to keep a low profile is to theorize a "wealth continuum.” You know, some people are rich and some people are poor. So what? Isn't that just life?
No, it's absolutely not "just life" a mathematician would say, since the wealth of the vampire elites is a "different order of magnitude" from the relative insect wealth of even so-called rich people. For example, the counting numbers are a trivial infinity compared to the "unaccountably" infinite irrational numbers. Forgive this mathematical aside, but hopefully it helps to prove the vampire elites aren't just "rich people"; they are totally different life forms who live in a totally different reality!
Forget about all that rich and poor stuff and contemplate an EXISTENTIALLY DIFFERENT HUMAN SPECIES….
This morning I woke to find an email from Goddess author Vicki Noble* in my mailbox. Here's part of it: Hillary stands her ground.Me? I’m purely selfish. I want a person with enough power to mop up the lethal mess Bushy's left in his wake (especially re: climate change and WMD), and with enough ferocity to fight the snarling beast the Republican Party has morphed into.
Until recently, I seriously doubted that she would be any different from anyone else in the White House (look at Condoleesa Rice), figuring that when women rise to the top of the male-dominated pyramid of power, they kind of have to become pseudo-men....
But, I confess that a year or two ago I began putting Hillary's image on my Dakini collages, especially ones I made as offerings to the Black Dakini, and I thought at the time that was uncharacteristically hopeful of me. It was my inner mind at work, I think, preparing me in advance for this whole-hearted support I'm beginning to feel for her in this presidential race....
My support has to do with the way she has withstood the indignities of the public scrutiny she has had to endure over the years. (They don't like her hair, they don't like it that she doesn't bake cookies, just give me a break.) No matter what level of ruthless misogyny (woman-hating) is directed at her, she rises above it. She "subdues the demons with splendor." She gets bigger than her adversaries. She stays herself and keeps the focus. She is smart and funny, and for some profound reason that I doubt very much has to do with "power," she wants to be president and try to make a difference.
What woman would want to do this? A Dakini, that's who. A woman with a global mission, born to manifest herself (even sacrifice herself) in service to the world.
I adore Christians, Muslims and followers of the Jewish faith. We’re all children of the Goddess, born from Her body, and kept alive only by Her body. 
“…Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg: ‘With or without religion, good people will do good, and evil people will do evil. But for good people to do evil, that takes religion.’”

"’In the 1790s, in the waters off Tripoli, pirates were making sport of American shipping near the Barbary Coast. Toward the end of his second term, Washington sent Joel Barlow … to settle matters, and … Article 11 [of the resulting treaty] says that “as the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,” there should be no cause for conflict over differences of “religious opinion” between countries.’
