The time will come when women of the world are just going to snap and go Kalika-Mata on the weaker misogynist males everywhere.
I’m sick of al this sexism and bigotry! I’m sick of seeing women as victims! If a female bear, elk, lion, etc. can destroy an otherwise larger, brawnier male in a fight, so can female humans!
I’m going back to ShaktaPaganism! I love Jesus and will still see him as Vishnu but I don’t know if going back to Christianity (or Christo-Paganism) is right for me or not.
Yes; I’m aware that Hinduism can be Patriarchal, too but Hinduism is also not a monolithic “written-in-stone” single religion.
I dunno. After reading about Judaism and their actual views on sin, salvation, Jesus, etc. I no longer am sure why Christianity is a thing or was even necessary. If it was sin-atonement, Jews state that remorse and repentance is enough to cleanse sin. If it was about grafting Gentiles onto the Chosen People branch, Judaism just states that non-Jews can just follow the Noahide Laws and conversion to Judaism isn’t necessary…
…thus, my theories on why Christianity exists and how it relates to Judaism have gone down the toilet and, while Jesus was a neat guy, I have no idea why Christianity was invented. Much of Christianity’s claims are based on Judaism but if the link is really not really there and both faiths are incompatible then much of my defense of Christianity as a Jewish thing have been bogus.
Was Christianity an offshoot of Judaism? Was it a Roman plot? Was it some weird Interfaith religion? A new form of Zoroastrianism? Western Hinduism with Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva replaced by The Parent, Christ & Holy Spirit?
So perhaps I’ll just follow my own path of Grey NeoPaganism, taking ideas from what all the world’s faiths have in common, stripping them down to their basic themes and creating my own Universalist path that has it’s own understanding of Deity, cosmogony and ethics. That will be my personal path and have it’s own archetypical Pantheon and mythos.
All ORGANIZED Religions have issues! Time for me to personally restart from scratch. A path that borrows from all Paths while favoring none, embracing equality of the sexes and equality and balance in all things. Taking a utilitarian approach with ethics while still having a defined understanding of Good & Evil and acknowledging that both Light and Dark can be both Good & Evil.
I need my own path. I’m a NeoPagan and that’s what I am.
