(The concept of male and female deities, mind you, is certainly older). Don't feel bad, though. When Christianity was sixty years old, it was playing the "our religion is older and therefore better" game too. It made even less sense for Christianity than for Wicca, but there's a simple principle which I find applies in most of these cases: religion and reality do not have to correlate, and indeed they often do not.Sixth Estatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192110046214949228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36219318.post-41305433485797590092007-08-18T20:40:00.000-07:002007-08-18T20:40:00.000-07:00The Whole Concept of Christ came about after the a...The Whole Concept of Christ came about after the advent of Wiccan beliefs, which accepted the male and female deities, which is probably what puts you in the "no comfort" zone.Kreistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456868436231378710noreply@blogger.com
