In the new 3D blockbuster film Avatar, the good guys worship the Great Mother Goddess Eywa! Finally -- a film with some real religion in it.
I know it’s late, but if you still haven’t zeroed in on that perfect holiday gift for that special someone, BUY HER/HIM A TICKET to Avatar! (Mercy, buy tickets for that un-special someone. Buy tickets for everyone on your block. This is a film everyone needs to see. Take it from your Auntie Athana!)
Why is God male?
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Moss.
ReplyDeleteRead *Switching to Goddess: Humanity's Ticket to the Future* for another take on why god is male. I think the shift from female to male divinity began around 4000 BC, first in the Near East. It then spread to Europe and India, next to the Far East, and then finally to the New World.
I agree, Avatar was a terrific movie with a wonderful Goddess-based message.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I am afraid to go see this thing - since it's made by James Cameron of the Titanic atrocity - plus I heard it's 3 hours long! I saw a trailer and thought this was like Iraq war meeting destruction of the Amazonia rain forests so I wasn't all to keen to see. And all this marine and imperialistic soldier stuff.. bleh..
ReplyDeleteThere better be loads of that goddess in there! :)
