Therefore you are no more likely to have peace under a goddess than under a god. <BR/>Plus most gods of monotheistic faiths are against war and violence, "thou shalt not kill.." etc, and it is just the crazy fundamental people who someone construe this to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-32696612693008449342008-06-11T01:53:00.000-06:002008-06-11T01:53:00.000-06:00At the beginning, ancient people believed in matri...At the beginning, ancient people believed in matriarchy until man started to fight about nosense things and got against matriarchy creating a father god that accepted war, one of those religions was the judeo-christian-islamic religion.that religion nowdays consider God as male and female equal but thats not true since in genesis says that he first created adam in his own image from dust and alsoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-1122979791726127832005-08-02T04:49:00.000-06:002005-08-02T04:49:00.000-06:00I'll add some more to this as we go along, but bas...I'll add some more to this as we go along, but basically, I agree with Athana. We've only been dealing with male gods for about 5-6,000 years, and where they become dominant, war, classism, rape, slavery and exploitation ensue. Always. <BR/><BR/>The Goddess is an inclusive image - she gives birth to men and to women. Nothing in Nature is 50-50. It always tips in favor of the female.Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074112467402675609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-1122915410285569332005-08-01T10:56:00.000-06:002005-08-01T10:56:00.000-06:00Oh, okay, cool then.

Maybe if I'm not exhausted from more class and public transporation tonight, I'll specifically outline why I believe citing the appearance of male war gods in c.3000 BCE is too short sighted for the issues that we actually do agree on...
