26. As awakened as you are to real spirituality now . . .
Edited on Wed May-14-08 12:07 AM by defendandprotect
you're not asking one of the major questions about all religions which is ...

"Why organized patriarchal religions--??" --- that's the first betrayal of the majority of people on the planet/women -- and the first thing you should be looking at.

The Bible, in fact, was written to cement patriarchy.
Organized patriarchal religions are the underpinning for patriarchy, itself ---


You should also look at "Manifest Destiny" and "Man's Dominion Over Nature" which epitomize
the lack of respect for nature/the creation, animal-life -- and the exploitative nature of
those dogmas. In fact, this religious exploitation goes on from nature to exploit even other
human beings, according to various myths of inferiority.

Racism, sexism, homophobia are the lingering symptoms of this exploitation ---
but the discrimination begins because of the desire to EXPLOIT for profit and power of the few.
Organized patriarchal religions have granted that license to the few.

Best wishes ---
