Our GodRebel credo:    
​          "We don't hate religion. Rather, we apply tests of reason to it."
 'Goofs' of Godly Grammar?
​                ​ Is God a Sexist?                  Next Page: -- Healing
A Female God -- Why Not??         
    When I speak of god as “She”, I often meet with giggles, but it's not a joke to me. I am serious about meeting Spirit's truth, no matter what its language. And if using the word “she” helps me, I am sure that “God” or “Goddess” is happy that I've found solutions for my angst. As I understand it, scripture’s use of those very words, such as “He” or “Him” to speak of God were never meant to refer specifically to maleness or to rule out God as female. Rather, those expressions are designed around the grammar that’s available even though it offers limiting expressions.      

PictureHeart's First Aid
 Heart's First Aid
       Some women, including me, have felt slighted or offended by the use of the male pronoun to speak of God or Higher Power.  I, no slacker in sisterhood and feminist persuasions, have had plenty of these issues. The wisest Prophets and great Seers have enjoined us to “seek to understand the spiritual meanings hidden in the heart of the words”* that we hear or read. 
         "Spiritual meaning," surely, does not include a literal reading of general expressions, especially as in gender pronouns assigned to God or Spirit. English as a language dictates a certain norm of grammar. The word “he” is used to limit needless wordiness, and includes women also in its sweeping scope. Yet many of the female sex have noted, and I myself as well, that language has a strong effect on souls of sensitivity. Still I’ve found, amazingly that this is something that can change with time and with the use of my own healthy language and re-naming.

Seeking Sounder Grammar
     To be fair to the 'fair sex', I believe that grammar should be changed! One day I hope it will be. On that day, all texts can change, and “Godly grammar” too! But 'til that time, I still must trust in Higher Voice or suffer my estrangement. I know that in the fullness of creation, “God”, “Goddess”, and “the One” is freed of earthly boundaries. I hold it so within my heart to calm and soothe my soul.

Opportunities of Growth       For me the wording of the scriptures carry both a blessing and a curs. It calls on me to rise above what I call the “Godly grammar.” This, a trial of life for me, is what my soul is here to learn. part of coming into greater to virtue. In this I've found the need of patience and detachment, and this test has helped me grow in them. In reading classics of religion or engaging in conversations,  I have been forced to face the sexist strictures of my language. Yet I find that I can learn to deal with that in ways that need not leave me feeling robbed. In this my sense of self remains intact beyond the sexist phrasing that I may encounter.
       References to God or Higher Goodness as couched in words like "He" or “Him” hold little power to upset me now, for I've let go of that old pain and felt transgression, for in my heart I deeply know... 
      "God", Goddess, Source 
of All and surely ourselves as Soul are Essences of Spirit, truly gender-free and so much greater than "He" or "She" or “It". Such expressions can never hold great power for I am clear right to my core that pronouns used in verses of the Higher Source refer as much to my own soul as to the gods or to any being of another gender.
