Lunatic fringe
When I first heard back that I was invited on board here as a writer for the religion section my first reaction was, oh no!, will I be able to write on religion everyday!? Is the Goddess even considered a religion? I don’t want to write on religion, I don’t even like religion! Not only that but is the blog world ready for a Goddess loving, flower child, wise woman, witch heretic? I immediately wrote back asking if I could be put in a natural family living corner of the room writing counter revolutionary things like meatloaf recipes and cloth diapering tips? Please? No such corner exists and I am now visible for all to read. I am not nervous from some shortcoming in my faith that is going to be exposed. My initial hesitancy comes from the lack of religious tolerance I see in the world around me today. Tolerance is fine if certain ideals of different faiths & beliefs cause you to react violently. Be tolerant. But I don’t want to be tolerated! I want to be loved and understood and treated respectfully, just as any human being deserves. You don’t have to ‘get’ me. I’m not here for everyone to get. I realize I am the fringe but we do exist and I am so pleased to give us a voice! Come close to the edge and feel the fringe tassels with me! Oooh! It’s going to be great! I’m not here to help you find God. I’m here to reveal the Goddess!
