(41,013 posts)God the Father. God the Son. And then there's a ghost. I guess that represents women cuz we're invisible. My minister was not comfortable when I asked him, if God isn't male or female, why don't we have a special pronoun for God? (I didn't realize how ahead of my time I was!) He mumbled some lame answer. It could easily have been God the Parent & God the Child, but no. Women were deliberately left out of the Trinity.
So many small, petty men.

They sell them on the Wife who does all the work, kids who obey without question, and that as men, they are the ones who make the rules.
They think they are owed those things.

(29,793 posts)The interesting part is that they seem to be going for very traditional religions:
Eastern Orthodox (Ortho-bros, they're called)
Roman Catholic
Strict Jews (forgive me, I'm not up on the different strands of Judaism, but I have observed more students wearing the kippah daily).
