Why does God not put on d(r)ess?

[SeaZen]

On this forum, its the divine feminine goddess vibe that is prevalent. That is OK as the majority of society believes in a religiously indoctrinated male god and I really want to see the divine feminine manifest in all of her sensual, magnificent, powerful glory. Its long overdue. But both the ying and yang are important and I see the forum debating these very important topics lately which is great! We ARE moving forward!

I absolutely believe in the Goddess, the Gaia, the Divine Femine, the Mother. But to try to relate to other forum members, I use the Source. To me, creation is a feminine goal. I also cringe when the morning prayer comes over the intercom at work. If I can't get out of there before it is said, I substitute Goddess.

I can't figure out why anyone would want to put a dress on consciousness. If God is indeed omnipotent, what we would term as a female trait (like SummerLand's feminine goal of creation) not be a part of Him/Her/It?

Some folks believe that [the male] God and [the female] Goddess are two separate entities / beings anyway.

Just my 2 cents.

A critical part of the mythology is omnipotence, and power is associated with the masculine. The God image is just a reflection of the society that creates it, along with it's values. If the society valued community over competition, compassion over self reliance and heart over mind, the God would be a Goddess.

Campaigning for politically correct word usage in the face of existing social values is pointless. The values are what would need to change.

Phroggy, why that is one of the nicest things I have ever seen you write!!

I think its just more accepted religions trying to control and a very old fashioned view that men are better etc etc etc. I think You can believe whatever you like. God can be a woman. Only religions have said that God is a man. Your God can be whatever you want and no one can tell you that its wrong as everyone is entitled to their own views!

I prefer Source. Sometimes God slips out too but I still pray to Mother & Father God...
