(could somebody tell me if I'm way off the mark?) >> Hi! Where is the humility in your being? So what if God is better or perceived as better? - God created me and everything that sustains me - Oh course God is better - but God does not say call me Mr. Better - God says "Call me your father - call me your loving< merciful father - and stop being my arrogant little children!" Oh course you should praise him - praise him with all your being! Oh course you should consider yourself equals men/women - you have proven yourself to be in art, music, literature, science, history, . . . Now, don't them forget it! Don't let them portray us as mere objects of pleasure! Peace Angela
