According to the Gospel of Thomas
[FONT=Arial]Simon Peter said to them: Let Mary go forth from among us, for women are not worthy of the life. Jesus said: Behold, I shall lead her, that I may make her male, in order that she also may become a living spirit like you males. For every woman who makes herself male shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.[/FONT][FONT=Arial][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Men and women are man, but have assigned themselves a different role with a different way of thinking, dressing, doing their hair and decorating themselves, all of which is dependant on the culture in which they live. The masculine man and the feminine woman are caricatures of man. They not only distinguish themselves by their inside but by their culturally-defined outside, too. Both women and men can become man again.[/FONT][FONT=Arial] [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]So I see that equality in fashion is actually spiritually called for.[/FONT]

That bit was added to the sayings of Jesus recorded by Didymos Judas Thomas at a later date than all the rest.
In relation to equality of fashion etc. how about:
"When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."
But of all the sayings, I like this one the best . . .
Buyers and merchants will not enter the places of my Father.
Quite.
Especially those working for BT!

So all you need to enter 'The Kingdom' is a really big mincer, I see where you are coming from, I think! Finely chop the people, and they become as one. Profound indeed.
I am the God of Hellfire! and I bring you truffles!
