Carol P. Christ
  • In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.

  • The women's movement will present a growing threat to patriarchal religion less by attacking it than by simply leaving it behind.

  • In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.

  • Because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.

  • Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.
