The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world, manifest in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
No God in this world can be so narrow-minded that he needs to be appeased by
sycophancy or worship, and if he does gets pleased and favours you, then he
cannot be God... He can only be the devil.
-Deep Trivedi

unfolding around you and the functioning of nature. You will realize that other

-Deep Trivedi
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
