First of all.. the fear of God is ridiculously funny to me…  If you “fear” God than what kind of God is that?

And I don’t buy into the whole… it means respect for God… if you mean respect than say respect… don’t say fear.  Fear and Respect are two totally different things.

Perfect Love casts out fear… so if you Love God than by definition, you can’t fear Him.  And by extension, if you fear God than you don’t love Him, or rather you can’t love Him.

This picture of God that we have been given is pretty ridiculous.  If we took just a few seconds to actually think about the logic of some of the things we have been led to believe are Truths about God, we’d be surprised with what we’d find.

For instance, in the New Testament, we read that God is Love, we read that Jesus is the Prince of Peace… in the Old Testament, we read that God wants us to slaughter innocent animals, but then we read that He commands us Thou Shalt Not Kill… Hmmm…. seems like either God is a psychopath or something just doesn’t add up…  Either God is a liar, or one of these beings isn’t God.

Now, maybe the God of the New Testament had a change of heart, or evolved or I don’t know… but something definitely seems to be different about Him… Maybe He got over His Jealousy issues.  But any God that I can imagine would be Perfect and Complete from the Start, neh?  Jealousy is a petty emotion, one that any Perfected Being (God) would never have… after all isn’t Love never jealous?  And if God is Love than He can’t be Jealous too, by definition!

Which leads me to believe that a God that calls for the murder of animals and the shedding of blood is no god at all, but a devil.

The fact that somehow (well I can probably guess how) we have accepted the notion that God is Male and only Male is absolute lunacy!

Every kind of creation that we know, and manifest is male/female… yin/yang… whatever you want to call it… meaning that anything that “works” from a car engine to a dove joint is male/female (insert rod A into slot B)  But somehow a purely male Creator manifested everything that is, without any female counterpart?

And so, we are led to believe that man is superior to woman. (of course we wouldn’t say this in this day and age… but we act like this and our scriptures preach this)

Woman was created from Man’s rib?  Ha!  Children could better explain the creation of woman!

Women submit to your husbands?  Are we not equals?  Do we not exist in Balance and Harmony?  Are our kids (whether male or female) not half the product of man and half the product of woman?

Why then do we believe in a Heavenly Father, but not a Heavenly Mother?

I don’t see a logical reason… and oddly enough, I don’t hear many women preaching this either (because of course, it’s not of “God” for a woman to be in the priesthood).

Men and Women, we are different to be sure, but difference doesn’t equal superiority.  Rather we should celebrate our differences, for the other is strong where we are weak and weak where we are strong.

To have a really bad reference right now, “you complete me”… Our opposite completes us.  And if we truly believe that we are created in God’s image… than there must also be a Goddess, yes?  Regardless of how you choose to refer to that Godhead… some might say it is a Trinity, with All, being composed of God and Goddess, forming a Triangle.

Just like in the triangle of you and your parents, you can’t separate yourself or your mother or father without breaking the triangle (each of you representing a point on the triangle)… than the Godhead is also inter-related as well.

And here we end tonight’s thoughts, it is an abrupt ending, but there is much to consider…  I wish you Peace,

Think about it…
