Time for a lecture, gentle readers, on the point of this blog:
If the world worshipped a Mother Goddess, we’d all be as healthy as the healthy children of the healthiest mother. We’d be smart, rich, risk-taking, egalitarian, sensual, creative, capable, playful, freedom-loving, non-violent, lovable, gorgeous WINNERS!
I can back this with historical and logical evidence.
But -- we need to surrender our war gods simultaneously, or the gods left behind will stomp the rest of us into the dirt. So put your hands together for unilateral disarmament of the war gods!

This is such an important point. We are bombarded constantly with messages of scarcity - there's not enough food, not enough money, not enough oil. It's all lies. This is an abundant world. We produce enough food right now to feed everyone on the planet - we just aren't doing it. We can produce enough sustainable energy to do whatever we need, we can shelter and clothe everyone. We lack only the awareness that it is possible and the will to make it happen.
We've let people take power who are creating a form of feudalism in this country. They are erasing our basic rights and keeping us poor and stupid so they can continue to amass obscene amounts of wealth and power while the world goes to hell around them. It has to stop.
Another world is possible, and She begins with the Goddess.
Yes, we have enough now. Also, if women had control of their own bodies, they wouldn't be having more than two kids apiece anywhere on the globe. So our burgeoning world population would stop burgeoning and there'd be MORE than enough for everyone.
This is so well put: "We've let people take power who are creating a form of feudalism in this country. They are erasing our basic rights and keeping us poor and stupid so they can continue to amass obscene amounts of wealth and power while the world goes to hell around them. It has to stop."
It always surprises me when I re-realize how much you base your beliefs on some expected outcome of believing. I don't think that you really believe in the goddess as much as you believe in believing in the goddess. That is, even if the goddess doesn't exist and isn't true, you would be quite willing to mislead people by teaching them thealogy as long as it makes the world nice and happy. I think you are much closer to social conditioning than to religion.
I haven't got the knowledge to argue about the "best religion for the world economy" according to your historical evidence, but I would be really interested in hearing your logical evidence. I'd be interested in your historical evidence too, but I don't have much time to study it =(.
"...you base your beliefs on some expected outcome of believing."
Paxton, just because my religion brings heaven on earth and yours brings hell, doesn't mean my religion is not valid, accurate, "true," or whatever word you want to use, here. What kind of logic is that?
You sound as if you don't want the world to be "nice and happy." I suspect that's because you have been brainwashed by a system that says you are not allowed to be happy.
My logical evidence? I think I'll post on that topic today, so if you'd like, you may read my today's post and get my evidence there.
No, Athana, I didn't mean that at all.
What I meant is that you don't care if your religion is true or not, AS LONG AS it makes things comfy. You don't care about believing a lie as long as it's a nice lie. And you don't care about teaching something false as long as it makes people behave.
If the niceness and happiness of the world is based on something that is a lie, it is just the pleasant sleepy feeling you feel before you freeze to death.
Please don't misunderstand me as saying "if something brings happiness, it must be false". I am suggesting that YOU are saying "if something makes you happy, believe it whether or not it's true. Live and die in a dishonest, smiley haze."
All I am saying is that I my belief in Christianity is not because I happen to like it or think it is good, but because I happen to think it is true.
