	Reviews for God is a Woman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		I enjoyed Ian's observations that reading magazines didn't land a woman in 3 catch phrases, and how sit-com writers are compelled to write stories about how women are always right, even when they are wrong.
		"God is a Woman: Dating Disasters" by Comedian Ian Coburn is a must-read for anyone, particularly those of the male persuasion, trying to plod their way through the often frustrating, confounding, yet wonderful and exhilarating world of Dating.
		Though if God truly is a woman, I’m sure she could be a bit more compassionate with the male gender.

	"God's" Opinion of Women
		David had sinned grievously, but God was going to punish him by having some unnamed "neighbor" rape his wives "before all Israel and before the sun" (v12).
		A woman was considered impure for seven days during her menstrual period, and anything she touched was also considered unclean (Lev.

	Merlin Stone (1976) Reclaiming Eve: Women's History 2000 presentation by Sunshine for Women
		Woman, as sagacious advisor or wise counselor, human interpreter of the divine will of the Goddess, was no longer to be respected, but to be hated, feared or at best doubted or ignored.
		We are told that, by eating the fruit first, woman possessed sexual consciousness before man and in turn tempted man to partake of the forbidden fruit, that is, to join her sinfully in sexual pleasures.
		Not only was woman to bear the guilt for sexual consciousness, but according to the male deity her pain in bearing a child was to be regarded as punishment, so that all women giving birth would thus be forced to identify with Eve.

	God's Thought Of Woman.
		God's thought of woman is a subject that has engaged the attention of the prophet, the theologian, the poet and philosopher all along the ages.
		It is nowhere intimated that God does not expect her to share man's responsibilities of church and state; on the contrary it is most clearly implied, by numerous examples given in His Word, that God designed woman should be man's helpmate in all the avenues of life.
		God is waiting for the world to recognize His thought of woman before His edict shall go forth that is to free the world of much of its thralldom, much of its sorrow and mourning, before its moral mists shall be cleared away.

	The Head Covering God Gives Every Woman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		So when he says that man was created in the "image and glory of God" and that woman was created in the "glory of man," he means the same thing in both instances (Paul uses only one word, "glory", in the second phrase to represent the entire phrase "image and glory").
		He believes that woman was created in the image of man; he believes that woman is dependent on man and that man was created independent of woman—he believes all of this to be true.
		In fact, "in the Lord" (i.e., in the church), long hair is given to a woman "instead of" (not "for") "that which is wrapped around the head." Women in the church have a ready-made covering and are therefore not in violation of the principles expressed in vv.

		If God were a woman, She would be subject to mood swings.
		If God were a woman, She would find herself alternating between crying jags, laughter and sometimes, a sort of consuming rage, all for no apparent reason.
		On the bright side, if God were a woman, She wouldnât have supplied manna to the Israelite children wandering in the wilderness; it would have been Ben & Jerryâs ice cream that came raining out of the sky, in all the glory of its assorted flavors.

		I have been thoughtful about this lately because, since I was a young child, I always thought of God as both male and female, and that we were All created in God’s image.
		Anyway, for thousands of years, God was worshiped as the Feminine Divine Creator of the earth; all was birthed from Her womb, including the sun and the stars and the planet…not just the earth.
		It is a fascinating and sad tale of whole cultures of people being obliterated by men wanting to insert a male God, such as the Yahweh of Abraham, as the predominant cultural leader.

		Older even than the image of God as a man, in fact, is that of God as a woman.
		And to genuinely experience the aspect of God that is beyond form and gender means that we must first integrate both sides of our nature -- the yin and yang of the soul.
		For far too long, both women and men have been orphaned of their divine parentage: raised by a Father God, they have lacked a Mother Goddess to care for their spiritual needs.

	God's Best-Dressed Woman & Beautiful Things

		Societies in ancient Mesopotamia revered a female God who gave life to everything on the earth and in the sky.
		Because their God was a woman, women naturally had the dominant role in society--possessions and property were passed down through daughters, not sons.
		It's extremely interesting to read about why and how the worship of a female as God came to be, and how and why it eventually disappeared.

		This new history contends that the goddess part of their worship was suppressed as the Israelites became a more patriarchal society, and that Jewish history and scriptures were altered to eliminate any reference to it during the reign of King Josiah (640-609 BC).
