makes your knowledge more experiential than mine. I was just thinking the history thing where Paul started hating on women and then the dark times and then the idea was pushed along during the age of "reason".

I went to an Episcopal church and although I don't think anyone said, I just thought "God/Jesus" was too busy and Mary was like Mom talking to Dad after we went to bed! Oh my, childish thoughts can shape a life

We also got "holy ghost", not so much Mary. We sang Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Although when going to confession, the punishment was always a bunch of "Hail Marys" to recite just like she would intercede for me like a mom.

No wonder they're losing followers, it's all such a merry go round of silliness so someone can come out on top of everyone else.

Anyway, I would love it if they just admitted Mother Earth has the power to heal, to give birth, to destroy and that Her Livingness is what sustains us all.

Happy New Year...WooHoo 2012
