Worshipping Lilith

[A] woman is always under male authority, first her father, then her husband, and perhaps, someday, her son.” And if she wants out, she can’t get out, because she’s been systematically denied the economic and social power necessary to escape.

A quote from "The War on Contraception Goes Mainstream"

Yes, my mother was Mormon.  I know all about crappy patriarchy. 

My father was an abusive atheist (an aspiring actor in Hollywood, too) and one of the first people who would quote the Bible when beating the crap out of you to justify his lack of self-control. 

It's always the atheists that abuse in the name of God.  It's always the jerks that never read the Bible that use it to abuse other people. 

My step-father was Cherokee.  His tribe had matriarchal power.  I'm not sure how well that worked when his mother married a baptist, though.  I'm surprised no one got killed during that marriage.

My Grandmother was Pentecostal.  In that view, we have no gender.  We are all equal to do as God wants us to do. 

I've seen it all. 

I really, really, really have a hard time with members of the religious right who run around claiming that women were made to service men.  We were made from his rib to suck on his bone.   

yadda...yadda...yadda....

Not true says the former theology student....

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

²⁷ So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” ²⁹ And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

-Genesis 1:26-29

God creates man and woman from earth....

-and-

² Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

-Genesis 5:2

Why do those Christians that hate divorce so much always forget about Adam's first wife Lilith. 

If you want to convince me of your sexism, at least understand your own religion.  God made Lilith first.  She wanted to have fun sex with Adam.  He was boring in the sack, so she left with the demons because they were more fun.

Lilith is still said to be having sex with the sons of Adam, panting atop their chests as they sleep at night.  

This is why god created Eve. Adam was overwhelmed by a woman created to be his equal.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

-Genesis 2:16-24

God has to change the fruit eating rule and create another female so Adam doesn't have to be alone.

Men are descended from a stupid man who wanted control so darn much that he failed to adapt.  His wife left, he couldn't handle it so he had to get another companion. 

It doesn't mean we are all beneath men nor does it mean that we were meant to obey.  I mean, like Lilith, most women are geared to get tired of the crap boring, stupid men pull and eventually, should they disgust us enough, leave for a better life of freedom.

The Creator never took that freedom loving strong spirit away from women.

In fact, some of us can get to the point of embracing evil when pushed a little too far.

Love,

Oh....and one more thing.  The government that can force you to carry a child can force you to kill it.  Be mindful of what the conservatives are really trying to do.  Are you familiar with Agenda 21?

Google it. 

They want a one world government.  They plan on having it mirror China.  They plan on a one world religion. 



Now heed this....

If they can ban birth control, they can force sterilization. 

If they can ban abortions, they can force them. 

When it comes to keeping our tax dollars out of the hands of the people, it won't be long before politicians realize that culling the population will allow them to keep more of the wealth to themselves and their base. 

What are they really after? 

Think about it and heed my warning before it is too late.
