That is the bumper sticker I saw in Idaho Falls.
Is this the sign of a new “revelation”?

Hmmm….
Sounds like the matriarchal neo-pagans have arrived to live along side the patriarchal, nominally “Christian” neo-pagans in Idaho Falls…
I’m still trying to sort out what this could mean.
It’s a standard slogan of goddess-worshipping neo-pagans, Jeremy.
Yes.
But I am thinking, too, Jeremy, that there is a growing feminist voice within the LDS Church. If God the Father is that vocal, white man, how come the Mother doesn’t get more of a voice?
Because, Todd, “Heavenly Mother” or whomever aside, the LDS Church remains intractably patriarchal, and those women who have attempted to invoke said “Heavenly Mother” in an effort to move it in a more feminist direction have found themselves marginalized.
My first thought was that it was neo-pagan slogan. On the other hand, I thought, it could be some sort of humorous expression of LDS feminism that was consistent with LDS doctrines.
But then I thought, “Wait, what’s the difference?”
Yeah, well, there is that, Jeremy.
Mormonism is distinguished from most other neo-paganism by being patriarchal and by maintaining a Christian veneer.
But then, you probably knew that.
I believe it is that the criticism Catholics are given by Protestants, that they mistaking sometimes think, Catholics believe Mary is a Godess, thus causing “My Godess gave birth to your God” just as a way to say mother Mary (criticized as a Godess to Catholics) gave birth to Jesus (the son in the trinity of God) (and we Catholics don’t even consider her a Godess like often criticized)
