The One Male God is a crap idea because it promotes male hegemony, violence, oppositional rationalism. It forces men into social roles that they are not necessarily made to perform. Why should all dudes be providers when many are made to dream, or invent? Why should all chicks want a baby when many would rather run with wolves?
The One God is a King. Where’s the touted virtue of democracy in that?
The Unitary Ruler. The CEO in heaven, away from here; in a Better Place. They at least have a picture of his kid Jesus and a few angels, though they dispensed with with saints. The Muslim don't even have a picture of his son. They have only the idea.
At least the Catholics give him a retinue of angels and saints some of which are feminine. The Protestants display him alone on his cross sans consultants and without a hint of girly energy anywhere. All of these One God religions lack reverence for a feminine deity. This is a bad thing, because having One Big Boss of Anything is a top-down system; a pyramid scheme. Without a partner, the One God is a tyrant. And he doesn't even live here. He has left the building. No wonder people are so jacked up on video cameras. We are praying to be seen by an absent father.
“Please father, see me on CCTV.”
In our attempt to construct a play in which the roles of two parents are played by one dude, we are religious contortionists, trying to make sense of a bizarre faith pretzel when the simple answer would simply suffice. Give God's wife back to us. We have been deprived of her for too long.
The One Male God religions say that one the dude is three bachelor dudes. This guy makes everything from nothing and he is everything but he is not here, his address is far away. Right! Away. But wait. Isn't that where we throw our trash? Away. Away is a mythical garbage dump.
The Unitary mentality is Modernia's biggest hangup. There is no One-God-Over-There-Away-From you, outside of you, but approximately six billion people believe in the "Elsewhere Dude" religion in some form. When they pray to "Other" they disconnect from Self, Now and Nature, our sacred Mother.
BINARY CREATES NON BINARY
Ironically the idea of oneness promotes division.
If the Dude is "away in Elsewhere" then "other" must be happening Here. If we are “other”, does that make “now” the sin? Other-ness creates disassociation. Disassociation creates finger pointing, which encourages aggression, blame and shame, the favored cop-outs of Modern cancel culture. And there it is, Elsewhere Dude has an enemy, because where there is other, there is someone to point to. Are we inhabitants of earth the enemies of God? Is our present awareness Satan’s playground?
If Dude is father then Satan must be mom. Because what else is there besides the yang and the yin in perpetual dance? The nemesis of The One is Everything else, which is us, our world. We must literally fight God in that scenario. For the Gnostics, the created universe was evil incarnate. I believe that Modernia has accidentally adopted that harsh Gnostic perspective.
We have enshrined a gone-daddy-god who lives in holy elsewhere. We live here, in unholyland. Is this hell?
It obvious why The One God is a crap idea for a divine role model. No girls allowed is not just childish, but it is wrong.
What of god's gender? Why do I so rudely call him Dude? In prayer He is the Father in heaven. At least I capitalized. No one calls him It. If we had a neutral idea of God, wouldn’t we call it, It? They call him Lord and Father. "Oh no, he has no gender, the he pronoun is just a placeholder."
We all need role models, and Modernia’s favorite is masculine go-gettum, win, fight and conquer. The one the most toys wins. That’s a yang idea.
We can call God, It. "But that would be disrespectful." Ok then call god She. "Oh no, that would be feminist." Face it people, the One God is a man. Men who pray to a male deity are narcissists. Women who pray to a male deity have don't have self respect. Children who pray to a male deity have only one role model.
I wonder how we reconcile the triune preferred family unit of mother, father and child with the crappy idea that creation is made in the image of one Dude? Help me wonder!
