Divine Feminine

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When I am at peace with nature, I am at peace with God.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You came.
You saw.
You died.
You conquered.
Caesar failed.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

"No. I refuse to wear a stupid beanie on my head just so I can be a part of a sexist fraternity."

[For several reasons, He never said this.]

D. Blog: Divine Feminine

Why do people seem to fear the idea that divinity has a feminine aspect? When so much of the masculine aspect of divinity is understood as angry and judgmental, why not fear that? Even though Jesus presented God as merciful, loving and forgiving, we still have insisted on a divinity defined as masculine. Why must we understand God as gendered at all? Divinity might be neither masculine nor feminine, or even multiply-gendered. What makes us think we know anything about divinity and gender? We know only that at times throughout the course of human history, divinity has been perceived as feminine and masculine, a spirit presence which comes to us in ways we might understand (pronoun).
