Women are evil...

I seem to have found this so-called 'fear of women' in what we think of as having a very MALE god, as in Islam & the Judaic faiths. They seem scared to death of the Feminine !!

I haven't found it in religions such as Hinduism that have goddesses. In fact, it's so very often the goddesses that show the gods a thing or two !!!

According to my R E teacher at my grammar school back in 1958 or thereabouts the veneration of the Virgin in the Catholic Church was partly due to those nasty heathen pagans rejected the idea of the original mantra of the "male only" parenthood of Christ knowing, as the undoubtedly did, that to make a baby required bot male and female and could not understand how the Creator of All Things did not know this.

This is, of course, why pagans and the adherents of other pre-Christian religions tended to have both gods and godesses.
