I am She, the Lord

It's Women's History Month, Holy Week starts this week, and a killing spree has ended the lives of six Asian American women. What it is is an accumulation of abuse brought to a head.

Inanna, Sumerian goddess procreation & Queen of Heaven

personalized God can be a mere idol carved in our own image - a projection of our limited needs, fears, and desires. Instead of pulling us beyond our limitations, “he” can encourage us to remain complacently within them; “he” can make us cruel, callous, self-satisfied and partial as “he” seems to be. Instead of inspiring the compassion that should characterize all advanced religions, “he” can encourage us to judge, condemn, and marginalize.” ~ Karen Armstrong
