And Luci, I LOVE Starhawk's creation story very much. TELL it ! PLEASE? I can NEVER hear it enough. Heck, I'm just going to read it myself. LOL I think it's astounding that the "Good Christians" went immediately on the offensive here. They think NOTHING of ridiculing OTHER Religions but can't take it when someone asks a simple question when thay are called to task on something that they HAVE been claiming all along. WELL, which IS it? Is God Female, Male, both, or neither? Make up your minds, PLEASE! I do NOT see this as a ridicule of the Religions of the God of Abraham at all. Just a request for clarification. WHAT and WHO is God? Additionally I noticed that it was exclusively MALE Christians who went on the attack about this question. WHY is that? Does the idea that the Divine might actually BE female rattle your patriarchal views of things as they ":should be"? For your information, I AM a male and I find nothing upsetting about the idea of Deity being Female. I pray to her ALL the time (as I pray to the concept of the Male God as well). I find nothing at all inconguent with Deity being female in gender whatsoever, and am quite comfortable with it, completely. Raji the Green Witch<br><b>References : </b><br> Morgana, I LOVE it.

The story was related by Moses so he calls the creator male. Jesus calls him father but I guess it doesn't matter. God is spirit so I dunno.

And you make a good point. Using the term Goddess doesn't change the meaning of the text. But I'm sure most Christians won't agree---if they only knew that before Christianity was made the "law" -- it was the Goddess who ruled!! Goddess Bless You!<br><b>References : </b><br> The verse sounds good to me! And you make a good point. Using the term Goddess doesn't change the meaning of the text.

Lady M I like your version better (smile) As one who honors God/Goddess I must say that when I was christian I believed that God was neither male nor female...so in short I do accept the duality(male/female God/Goddess).<br><b>References : </b><br> Goddess it is!
