all these threads of the power of belief have inspired me to give a good reason why the above statement is true...

okay people, I may not have any parlor tricks to prove to you I am or am not as I claim to be, but seeing all of this bantering about god or no god, real or fake, just want to give you a demonstration how the power of belief and perception achieves...my reasoning...I have done amazing things

I have created life, and brought it into this world twice. I am all that a woman can be...I have been the maiden, innocent and pure, I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a niece, a lover and a wife. I have made men get to their knees and worship me, as I have worshipped them.

I believe I am a goddess...I am beautiful, strong and defiant. I can be a warrioress when needed, bringing misery and despair to those who have crossed me. I can sit and feel the earth move and stop to admire the stars blaze across the sky. I have felt the devastating pain of having all ripped from my soul, and then have had it built up stronger. I have danced with danger and felt the security of a net catching me...I have bestowed great wisdom, and teach even greater things.

I can give you any number of stories about ancient gods and goddesses going through the same trials and tribulations as I have, and because they represented something inate in the people to symbolize their strength and survival, they are now recorded as gods and goddess of old...so what's the difference between me and say..someone like bridgit, rhiannon or macha?
