Why are there no religen made by a women?

There are, several of them actually.  Church Universal and Triumphant and  Ramtha are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.  Ramtha isn't the real name I think but for the life of me I can't come up with it!

There was no female Apostle.... Mary Magdelin was perhaps the Sr. of the women who were concidered deciples of Christ.

I really don't know why women can't be priests. Well, I guess its tradition. Oh, yes. Hmm.. women can't be leaders. I think I've read it somewhere in the Bible. I'm from a country that's led by a woman President. And honestly, religious people are well, condemning the fact that a woman is leading the country, or something to that effect. When the Bible mentioned, there were 7000 people gathering around Christ, the Bible meant 7000 men, not women. So, go figure.

In the earliest religious traditions God indeed was a she- well, the most revered creative divine force was at any rate. The key word here is "creative"- god was worshipped as female because she was the Giver of Life, the One from whom all living things were brought forth, and from whom they were all sustained and nourished and given the food to live. She was known as The Mother- where we even now get the terms "Mother Earth" and "Mother Nature"\n\nNow, about 15 000 years ago humans discovered that men were more involved with the reproductive process than originally believed. They then decided that they were the ones with the greatest creative power and decided to take over. God became a man- the Sun God- women became chattle, and the Goddess was made the wife/mother of the important male Gods.\n\nThe result that this has had? YHWH is the Cerator of all, Mary is the passive vessel of Christ, and women are still treated (largely) like chattel. But at the same time, hispanic societies venerate the Holy Virgin with cult-like fervour, processions are made in Her honour which mimic the ancient processions of Isis. Pagans worshipping Mother Earth and her divine creativity is one of the fastest-growing religions in the West, while congregations in more "traditional" churches are dwindling into insignificance. The DaVinci Code is a best-selling novel and blockbuster film (despite the reviews). So maybe She hasn't beeen pushed to the back as far as some would like to think. ;-)

1st off people who argue over wether men or women are smarter are stupid. there are many forms of intelligence and men and women(biologically) tend to think differently. therefore both genders bring differnt aspects of intelligence to the table.\n\n i am a male atheist and people who suggest that most people who are athiest are victims of "God couldnt have let this happened to me, therfore there is not a God." are very incorrect. I was raised christian and i became atheist because i simply consider religion too lacking in the facts department and therefore does not satasify my need to have proof before i belive in something. some people like to think that we have souls and that there is more to life then actually life. but i belive that this is our only life and we possess no soul. i came through the conclusions through solid logic and reasoning and am still trying to find the whole truth of the situation.\n\nas for why there are more men then women athiest(no one can really say since they are only one person and not the whole athiest community...) but i think it is because men are raised to be strong and independent(which leads to independent thinking) while females are raised to be friendly, kind, giving, and somewhat reliant on others(either emotionally or in some cases finacially). therefore, i think women tend to accept religion better then men because our society suggests that relying on someone or something such as religion for emotional support is more acceptable for women than it is for men, and to me emotional support seems to be the main reason for following a religion (even if it is just to lower the anxiety of death)

The creators of God didnt program her to do so...

The counsel was that those women professing to be Christians needed to dress moderately and with soundness of mind. The same applies today. Christian women need to make sure they are not following in some of the very immoral styles of dress popular today, as well as not overdoing it by only wearing the most expensive, well-todo styles either.

I believe there is a Goddess and a God. Everything in nature requires balance, so why would the same not be true of God?\n\nPlus, in the OT, when God talks about himself, the original Hebrew text actually in the female form, not male.

There's no such thing as a woman priest.\n\nYou're thinking of a priestess.

Because Christianity (Especially Catholocism) is grossly out of date. Think about it, this religion COMPLETELY segregates people by gender. The Catholic church has roles that a man fills and roles that a woman fills, that's the way it always has been, and probably always will be.

There are many religions that require women to be fully covered from neck to ankles.  Hasidic jews, for example, require women, even girls, to wear long skirs all year long.\n\nIt's a matter of modesty for most religions that impose this rule.

Because they are mindless drones.  My roomate always talks about how he was raised in a "Good Christian Family", yet he can't even brush his teeth, shower or clean up after himself.  Most of them  just regurgitate was has been beaten into thier heads since childhood.  They don't even know anything about spirituality or faith.  Most very religious people I know are incredibly closed-minded.  I know one Christian who believes that dinosaur bones are fake, and that they were planted.  I'll never involve myself with any organized religion.  It's all the same crap anyway, and they wage war over it.  Also, most religions are hateful towards women.

Every respectable person dresses modestly.Ethically no religion can claim to have autonomy over any particular dress code.Maybe we need to make every Christian,Muslim, Buddhist,etc,know they can wear any dress code as long as it is modestly acceptable to the public.This is not only of women alone.I think that men too dress in a way that captures women's admiration,but that was not discussed by the religious books.I think that is not fair enough because this competition between the opposite sexes of arousing one another's feelings is what is actually creating the problems of immodest dressing.

You are NOT being overly feminist. That is really odd, I never noticed that before. I guess I never listened to the words closely enough. \n\nWhy do we need men to be our God?

God formed her after removing Adam's rib.  So there were other factors in creating woman that would keep her dna from being the same.

Yes.  Being a religious leader has nothing to do with gender in my religion.  I don't see why gender would matter.  It also does not matter what color ones hair is, what the color of their eyes are, or what color their skin is.  The country that they were born in doesn't matter or the financial class that their parents were in.  What matters is that they are a good religious leader that people want to follow.

Women already rule over their own man's life.  I would agree women are perfect and they bleed every month like Chirst did on the cross.  They stop bleeding when they are creating another life like God.
