I think to confuse masculinity with evil is a mistake but I have found that most people are simple authoritarians. I find that sheep are not very manly compared to people who live in freedom, which i think Jesus was the perfect example. but he seems to have accepted his sheep even though sheep are not very wise.
I think a lot of people feel that love is a feminine quality and they don't at all want to see God as something that is female. I think that many christian males erroneously and probably subconsciously equate a man loving with a man being gay. therefore when "God is love" as john claims they probably read it as "God is gay". this is one reason why I think they try to take upon themselves a wrathful and violent God, which are mere symbols expressed through brutish people enslaved by sin. they are shadows that must be fully comprehended in the mystery and wisdom of union with God.
but my confidence is that some of the supposed best people that claimed to know God did insane things like cut off part of their foreskin. but the worst sin was that they got other people to do it too. you can't get much lower than that.
I thought kittie had male and female vocals until i saw the video.
the feminine is the the part that receives and accepts things, it is passive in nature. for the most part Christians are feminine in nature and sadly they are often a harlot and are drunk on the teachings of the saints. the saints have a masculine quality to them because they have a fuller knowledge than babes and so they have a real authority in their words, because they have given birth to Christ in them to some measure and have attained to some level of spiritual maturity and thus liberty.
but the difference in the virgin and the harlot is that the virgin belongs to God alone and the harlot is pushed about by the winds of every doctrine that happens to overtake them.
okay okay so some angel said I have done worse things than abraham and it's probably true but the saints would not mind being put down if it would help us out in some way especially if we had no evil will towards them in our reasoning.
so good angels can be set over many things like christian metal and even non-christian metal even though humans don't notice. angels tend to be a masculine influence upon humans who generally are babes and thus tied to the womanly image because a woman and a child are basically the full feminine image.
kittie is ofc an example of the true image of God which is both fully feminine and fully masculine in nature.
but I agree that the OT is brutal and so are things like Christ being crucified.
