Reply #50: People I know

[bloom]

who are into this - include a lawyer, a successful business woman, and a manager - all educated, empowered, with their own good incomes and plenty of critical thinking. There is nothing about "goddess" practices that exclude "education, income, critical thinking and empowerment".

And frankly to suggest that women or anyone else who practice "Goddess" rituals are not educated, etc. is what people usually consider to be prejudiced, bigoted, etc. POVs.

Think about it - if someone said a similar thing about Christians - wouldn't you expect Christians to find that rather insulting? I suppose it was intended to be. And I think that the whole thing just goes to show ya - it's so easy so for people to slam women.

"education, income, critical thinking and empowerment are all more important than "(put your favorite religion or philosophy here)"

Like I said elsewhere - there is nothing that excludes atheists from practicing goddess rituals. There is nothing that excludes people who understand and study science from being interested in and educating oneself about alternative religious practices.
