[...] for an amusing sound bite, and sell many books and birth (no pun intended) many Christian feminist blogs and websites (LOL!), the idea of Christian feminism is wrought with errors and more holes in it [...]

Speaking as an Orthodox Jew…

Just for the record, Asherah has nothing to do with Judaism – it’s just that in biblical times, the Jews would often sin and worship Asherah rather than God; i.e., the Asherah is considered idol worship. Nothing to do with the religion of Judaism. The Jewish God has no gender. I wrote an article on my blog about it here http://starofdavida.blogspot.com/2010/09/women-in-prayer-part-3-shemoneh-esrei.html

Thank you! I am a Christian and a feminist, and though I do not agree with everything in your article, I am so glad you brought this topic up. Sadly, Christianity is so often represented by the closed-minded far right. I personally believe God is too big for a gender box, and because both men and women were made in God’s image, clearly, He/She is parts of both. Jesus’s
human form was male, but He to, I believe, as God, cannot be given a specific gender.

I also agree with those who commented saying God is indeed violent. God, being all-powerful, is, of course, immensely dangerous, but also even more loving. I love C.S. Lewis’s representation of this side of God in Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia

I have never really understood Mary-worshiping divisions of the Church, but I admire your persistence to keep looking for God

I really enjoyed this article. I think that many often don’t realize it is possible to be a feminist and a christian at the same time. I consider myself to be both and I know it’s hard for my family who are strict catholics to understand my more liberal and feminist views on christianity. I feel that you don’t have to chose between one or the other if you don’t want to.

What a nice article. I’m agnostic, and I’ll admit that there are very few atheist/ agnostic role models for us to choose from.
Having been raised in a Roman Catholic Church though, I do wish that women would be given more credibility for what they do.

My computer won’t let me reply to comments, so I’ll do it this way

Suzie- Very good points- I would agree with a hesitance to assign gender to God- actually, I feel like God is so huge in scope that none of us will ever understand! I really appreciated your comment; it made me think. One thing, though: I definitely don’t think of God as “fluffy” or comfy- just positive.

james- I have been accused of “shopping-cart” religion before, but my personal perspective is that religion is a growing, changing thing. Thank you for sharing.

Dorothy- I’ll definitely check out your blog!

A.Y. Siu- Thanks for the reccomendation!

And thanks everybody for your comment- this was my first time writing for Fbomb and the encouragement/discussion was much appreciated.

What a wonderfully refreshing post. I attended seminary and was pleasantly pleased how women were acknowledged as part of Christian history. I think Christian women make it clear that we were not an after thought in God’s plan. I am an author who wants to empower and increase self esteem of Christian women, black women, and women as a whole. Please check out my blog at dirt2diamonds.blogspot.com as I will keep up with you.

Keep up the good work.
