Magna Mater /Megale Meter / Great Mother (Khthonie, Gaia, Demeter), tibi gratias agimus / we thank your for your gifts and protections; we beseech you in this hour of need: give us peace, health, and our daily bread. Listen to the children who are crying and have been left alone. Let them know your boundless love.

? Is this some kind of a turn to the matriarchy? Or it's just pantheism in its feminine appearance?

? Is this some kind of a turn to the matriarchy? Or it's just pantheism in its feminine appearance? It is a return --if possible at all -- to the religion of Mother Earth, Earth personified. Metaphorically, this could be pantheism in a feminine garb but related to real ancient cult of Magna Mater (Khthonie, Kybele, or by other names). A modern addition: Scientists have discovered that there is "telluric electricity", a flow of electricity in our earth.... which has been partiallly exploited. I call it the flow or force of Life, that caused living cells and may be responsible for re-generation or restoring health, bodily sanity/wholeness. If your fold your hands in prayer, as the Hindu used to do (and Christians do), that flow, instead of passing through your body, may revolve/circulate in it, as the touching hands form a closed electric circuit. MAYBE. I do not guarantee it, but remission of some illnesses are known to occur. (Call this Experimental therapy.)

I've met some Rerich followers and some others meta-Theists or something, but for me it's not so accaptable. I mean I don't want to say that your words are meaningless, but there are so plenty of evil and cruelty in the world, I'd better be trying to have more patience. Christ said: "The one who stands firm to the end will be saved" (Matthews 10,22) And also we read: "Be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" (Matthews 10, 16)

As you know, one common critique of all religions or theisms is that the evils and cruelties of the world are NOT controlled or removed by the supposedly governing God. In fact, religionists or theologians normally resort to citing scriptures to prove that God performed many benevolent acts. You looked forwards and pointed out that those 'who stand and wait' will be saved, but SAVED FROM WHAT???

The Guile of the Guillotine-Fodder
Feminism leads to homosexuality. If the father is dominated by the mother, the son wants to become a woman. The anal-retentive beget the anal-receptive.
What's more important, Feminism leads to cowardly submission to the ruling class by these plebeian Mamas' Boys. The self-appointed hereditary rulers promoted Feminism in order to emasculate the rest of us. The second benefit for Birth-Class Tyranny is that it doubles hereditary power. For the first time, the spoiled putrid daughters of the rich can inherit their Daddies' positions just like their brothers always could for thousands of years of this hidden cancer.

You looked forwards and pointed out that those 'who stand and wait' will be saved, but SAVED FROM WHAT??? Evil exists then? Well, I don't know. I don't believe that the evil is something to be more, than God. God can do anything, including erasing or annihilating the evil once and for all. I know that someone would say - for why He let people suffer? That doesn't sound untrue if to ask this question when you are in trouble. But I don't really bother about this metaphysical facts. I don't think my logic is so well to claim that I know how are there within the metaphysics. That's why I prefer here - in moral questions - to take examples of human behaviour. And among people I see those who try to save themselves from any aside blames, because of their own greed and selfishness. One person asks me (ironically?) why God allows evil? And hearing no answer then he - that person - starts doing something bad; or that person just points at me and say that "you see? so, why are you trying to convince me in something that is 'good'? You know nothing...". So, I guess if a person was a moral one, he'd better believe in something to not let himself become selfish. And what I know is that Christianity - is one of the real way that helps you to put this selfishness and greed away, and it does work. When a person tries to invent new religions or something he doesn't do anything good at all. All those religion creators in past didn't know they invent the religion (except for somebodies like Mohammad who wanted the Eastern bodies had their own religion too). And I believe that there was something spiritual or graceful that blessed those prophets. And now when almost everyone knows about religions it's time to act, not to for metaphysical investigations. I think it's not so surprising to see that the philosophy is almost exhausted, and the religion and the art along with it. I guess it's because people stop doing something good. They're trying to excuse and to justify their own moves, while for what?
