A bit off-topic, but also wanted to share this comment made on the thread from Crooks & Liars where I found this cartoon, because I find it hilarious -
The picture of all the different gods sitting around laughing illustrates something troubling. There are no lady gods! God needs a girlfriend! That's why all this strife and energy being spent on war.
Seriously, we the humans design what our gods are like. Women have been sorely neglected in the heavenly realms. No families, no friends, no partners to deal with, no partners to say "Hon, you want to rethink that no shrimp or oysters thing. Have a nice cup of tea and take a nap. You're always much better at making dogma after you've had your nap."
We took sex and affection away from the gods and this is what we got. Cold, mean, downright frustrated supreme beings. For a being to be so hung up on procreation, don't you think they deserve the same benefits as their creations did?
To the atheists out there, no offence intended. Looking at major religions logically, this makes no sense what so ever.
And consider this: What if (in the Abrahamic faiths) Lucifer was god's partner, they had a big fight, broke up, and both have been miserable and lonely for thousands of years now? Lucifer went home to Mother (the earth) so God got very pissy and said "NO GAY SEX!" just to be a jerk and to use humans as tools to rile Lucifer at every turn? I really think there is something here that needs to be examined further.
