Go to Religion in the Modern World

Oh I totally agree I was just trying to say that thousands of years ago
many people worshipped nature, in the form of a woman to represent new life. But bring organized religion in and it all becomes male dominated and dominating.

Re: Thousands of years ago there were idols carved of Mother figures
Kabu - If you are suggesting that there are many prominent feminine figures to be found throughout ancient mythology, I must agree. The Virgin Mary and Lakshmi being two of the few survivors as iconic figures into the modern era. This doesn't change the reality of religious constructs being almost universally male dominated however.

Thousands of years ago there were idols carved of Mother figures
faceless with bulging breasts and bellys. Mother earth, she who recreates each year is Nature God?
