Re: [ozmidwifery] Bumper stickers for ladies!

Yes, women, whatever we call ourselves, are truly awesome! Heck, we can bring forth life! As for god creating woman out of man's rib -- who are they trying to kid? The bible was written to teach people how to be decent human beings; it was never meant to be taken literally. The first words, in Hebrew (transliterated), B'reshith bara elohim, mean In the beginning were those most high. Plural, genderless. God, masculine singular, came much later. I've spent a lot of time in the Sinai and Negev deserts. Forty days and forty nights alone there would drive anybody nuts.   In utter irreverence,   Aviva ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynne Staff To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 8:19 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Bumper stickers for ladies!
