When I was a girl I was forced to go to church, they taught us that we were all born in sin so that we would never truly appreciate how special we really are. I always had an issue with that because I could not understand how such a beautiful and magical act could produce a sinner. I am still to this day mystified by the belief that children are born with the scorn of sin surrounding them. I call bs on that particular theory.
Conception and birth is such a magical thing , how in the world could someone have ever considered the product of that sinful?
Look at it this way: There was a light so powerful that it created me from the material that my mother kept safe within her. The loving between her and my father was so magical that in the light of that love at its most intense it sparked a life...mine.
I was held safely in the womb of my mother, surrounded by waters so pure that it contained all I would need. How did I not drown? Because the womb of my mother was so magical that her waters had so much oxygen that I could breathe, because the water cushioned and cradled me, the lifeline of the connection to my mother nourished me. How is that not some magical shit??
They say you can drown in a tablespoon of water, yet I not only lived in water, I was completely immersed in it...I thrived.
My mothers waters held me safe until it was time for my entry into this world, the signal of my readiness was the releasing of that sacred water, like a damn and the portal like channel that extended and expanded pushing me along my path of emergence into a world created just for me, where my Mother (my god) waited to greet me and hold me and feed me.
So after all of that magic and mystery you want to tell me that I was born a sinner? It actually sounds more like the path of royalty to me.
Born in sin? Shaped in iniquity? I think not!
Created in Love, Caressed and cradled in Sacred Waters while maintaining a lifeline to the goddess, pushed through a portal and guided into a world created for me? If that is sinful...I will take it anyday!!!!
Now where did I lay that Crown....
Yesssss!!!!! Exactly how I feel we have to stop letting religion destroy our mind, body and soul...
I totally agree! Thanks for the response.
