Reply #33: I prefer gender-neutral divinity

[Chulanowa]

Or, better yet, gender-equal divinity. Hermaphroditic deities really do fill the gap, I feel.

I want to restate that emphasizing one sex over another as a matter of religion is negative, no matter what sex it is. Male and female are spiritual equals. Do you think that tacking an "-ess" onto the concept of "God" would make things work better? Not at all. A female-only priesthood perhaps? It would fall into the same corruption and evil as a male-dominated religion, because women can be assholes just like men.

But what the heck do I know. I figure it's good enough for me to acknowledge the existance of gods. If they expect me to worship them, they're asking a bit much - no matter what shape their tender bits are :)
