God must be a woman

Often when we face a dilemma, when we are locking horns with lifes
tough choices an atheist comes to us and tells us to be calm and think
it through with logic and evaluate everything. Contrast this with a
religious person who tells us God has all the answers. Seek his
blessings and you will find your answer. A similarity can be drawn to
the famous catch-phrase Men to the left as women are always right.
On a jocular note a better one would be A women may be
misinformed, mislead, unclear, misguided, and even downright
stupid..but she is never ever wrong.
It is these phrases that draw our attention towards a belief that God
must be a woman.
Not only do the quotations but a lot that is happening around us gives
similar indications. We address the nature around us as mother nature
attaching love and respect to it with the prefix mother. Everyone has
a feeling of worship for a mother be it an atheist or a believer.
Even mythology supports the notion. Taking a queue from Hinduism ,
Devi is the Sanskrit word for Divine. Devi is an integral part of any
hindu goddess .She is the female counterpart of her male aspect
without whom the male which represents consciousness remains
impotent and void. Devi as the female manifestation of a supreme lord
is also known as Prakriti-the hindi word for mother nature. The hindi
word devi is an inspiration for the modern day word Diva which is of
course related to the Italian deity Diva.
Greek mythology also discusses goddesses in abundance. Be it
Aphrodite , the goddess of love ,artemis the goddess of child birth,
Athena the goddess of skill,battle strategy handcrafts and wisdom. It is
a common observation that the greek gods had the attributes of
aggressors as compared to the greek goddesses who had attributes of
wisdom,skill,love.
Keeping all the beliefs aside we even see singers like Travis Tritt in
agreement. We may or may not agree to this belief but these lyrics
sum it up quite well
God must be a woman
You're probably a lot like her
Your grace is so amazing
An angel here on earth
You're so much like your maker
She sent you down to lay a crown on me
God must be a woman
Only mamas have a love that runs so deep

Watching out for drunks and babies and fools

And castaways like me
