Ironically there, Ishtar was a goddess with fertility as one of her aspects and quite promiscuous, wheras Mary was a virgin until Jesus was born. Ishtar did have a lot of different aspects though.

Althoguh I am not sure why the catholic church insists on her perpetual virginity, considering all the siblings Jesus had ^.^

I believe in angels and demons, but tht there is only one God. And that he is not evil. With the masy gods or all gods as one theory, evil aspects are incorporated into God's nature as well as the good.

Though Gods nature puzzles me. I do not see him as evil - but some of his 'just' actions are simply that, 'just'. He created us, and he created the angels - yet he would punish us for being flawed? It is true that under grace anyone can be saved - but what about the people who are not? I do not believe in the whole eternal firey hell death thing. I do believe that people not saved will die and be seperated from God, but NOT in the eternal torture thing.

I feel sorry for the angels though. Some of them will be burning eternally - it has to be hard to be an angel.

All throughout history people have searched for meaning - I do not find it surprising that they believe in spirits and gods - having some sort of spirituality makes more sense to me than believing the chance theory.

I will look into the names of God again. The 'we' I have heard about but it is something almost glossed over. The trinity is an almost purposely misunderstood concept in the church. The trinity is often seen as a clover - to me, all three are wholy God. Not three pieces on the same stem - but three spirits of the same soul?

I am still very confused, but realizing that God himself is multiple - that gives me hope and is helping me understand how we can all exist together better.
