Dannon Yogurt Backs Radical Feminists, Says God is a Woman

Dear OneMillionDads.com member:

Dannon Yogurt has joined the battle to rewrite the Bible. In a new print ad, Dannon proudly boasts "100 Calories. 0% Fat. Proof that there is a God and she is a woman watching her figure." (Woman's Day, Sept. 1, 2002, page 17.)

Some months ago OneMillionMoms.com members asked Dannon Yogurt to pull a very offensive commercial. Instead, Dannon ignored the requests and now has a new equally offensive ad campaign on TV.

Dannon has decided that they want to support the most radical wing of the feminist movement by publicly declaring God to be a woman.

I'm Wildomon's "Onemilliondads.com" e-mail list so that I can work against his agenda. I'm so subversive! Also, I'm a radical feminist and all-round good guy who might now start eating Dannon yogurt instead of Yoplait.

I much prefer Dannon's. Yoplait thinks God is a bacterium.

Ex-Preacher, I too decided to waste my time and get these email alerts - but I wrote back! I sent a reply to Donald Wildman deriding his obvious insecure feelings about his own masculinity. Wouldn't it be great if we spread that email address around and hundreds of freethinkers shut down their web servers?

I don't see how a deity made in female human likeness is any more absurd than one made in male human likeness.

And I don't see how the worship of female deities is necessarily "the most radical wing of the feminist movement."

Kosh · 08-13-2002, 12:43 PM

And to think that we accuse Muslims of having to sense of humor about their religion...

In related news, Yoplait has declared that UFO's prefer lowfat yogurt. "When you're buzzing Earth at near light-speed, every gram counts... a million billion billion times."

Don's gig (American Family Association) is based in northern miss. I used to financially support his ministry.

After I de-converted, I was still receiving his little newsletters in the mail. I would read it, get pissed off, then throw it away.

But this one time, they went too far. They had some writing on the outside of the envelope.

It said something to the effect of, "Should 'life partners' receive health benefits?"

"Congress thinks so!"

This one really pissed me off. So I wrote a huge, black YES! under the first sentence and GOOD! under the second one. I didn't even open it. I labeled it "Return to Sender", and put it right back in the mailbox. I haven't gotten anything from them since.

And look at that phone number!

You just know they are Satanically influenced!

It is when the early YHWH cultists completely killed the goddess wherever they went. The ancient Hebrews completely and utterly destroyed her(as opposed to the Zeus cults, who instead assimilated the goddess, though made her subservient. That's the meaning of Zeus defiling so many goddesses

) and the Christians continued the tradition.

This, I think, is why the Hebrews circumcised their children so soon. Instead of others who circumcised later in life, usually as a sort of initiation into manhood and their relevant Mysteries and as a seperation from the protective mother-goddess, the Hebrew circumcised almost at birth, because there was no mother-goddess to seperate from. She had been effectively 'killed'.

It could be seen as some kind of subconcious prejudice, left over from the early YHWH cultists and later Christian purge of the goddess that seems to fuel alot of this garbage.

Edited to add: I'm thinking this was far too much for a thread about Yogurt.
