Goddess and Co-Creator. Nothing is better as the ultimate fate of men is the same (sans the -ess).


"Goddess" in LDS terms seems to be a euphemism for "Celestial Broodmare."

Again, let's look at the fate of Heavenly Mother as our example. She pumps out billions of children, but she is silent. All the glory, honor and praise goes to her husband the priesthood holder, and she is cut off from her children. Even a broodmare has it better, as they are allowed access to their foals and vice versa.

So, since you used the term "brood mare", where in LDS doctrine does it state what type of cover is used? The point being that you're lying.

A broodmare is a mare used for breeding. Women in LDS theology are like that, only with with lower status.

I'm not sure what "cover" you're talking about.

Doesn't seem to be the case.

Then perhaps you'd better know the meaning of a word before you use it. Same holds true for doctrine.

Given what little we know of Heavenly Mother, that's exactly the case.

I just gave you the definition of broodmare. It is simply a female horse used for breeding. Such an animal has more dignity than women have in LDS theology.

Not so. Actually, cannot be so. In order to create on the god-level, one must have the priesthood. Women, therefore, will never be co-creators. Unless, of course, the priesthood is irrelevant to being a god.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
