I want to make an announcement.

i have decided where i stand on the names for God and gods/goddesses.

i would consider that Progenitor being not just a god, but rather some form of SUper-deity or Ubergod. further, i would consider this being completely genderless (and so i must begin erasing the masculine-form i am conditioned to through christianity), and above anything else. i would refer to this being simple as The Creator, or elvish Ea (The One). i may use certain hebrew names of God to refer to him in teh presence of certain individuas, but only when i can assure myself that those words hold no particular gender connotations.

the other gods and goddesses therefore need no change, and i am comfortable considering them gods and goddeses, lord and ladies, kings and queens, masters and mistresses. all other such names for divine beings such as them.

I believe I definitely agree with this. When I was attempting to write my own creation story for the Lord and Lady I found that the apparent, "All-Father" was the one god that I would consider the Uber god and therefore he/she should be without gender to further imply this. But I do believe you said it best.

it is something i am sure i have alreday felt and maybe even said often enough in the past (i cannot clearly remember for some reason) but always with that certain doubt, as though i wasn't even realy convinced that he or any others existed at all. when i WAS finally convinced of the spiritual it still took me forever to come about being certain of what exactly i believed at all. so i must say i am very happy to have come full circle. ^_^ it says alot for my ability to compare and be unbiased for any particular group of religious zealots.
