Rayww,
Thank you so much. Sorry I assumed you were male. I see Ray, and I think of my uncle Ray. I had a friend with the same pronunciation, but her name was spelled differently, I think it was Rai. Sorry about the confusion.
I looked up the song. You LDS have the most AWESOME music interface I've seen. I love the way you can select the vocal parts for playback. It's actually possible to learn the music at home without having to play an instrument. Way Cool! I have to admit that this is the most accessible web site I've ever seen. Presentations in Braille as well as ASL. I've not seen better. It shows a dedication to reaching out to a great many people.
I liked the lyrics to the song too. It certainly does make sense that if you have a father you have a mother also. Certainly makes sense to me.
I'm constantly amazed at just how much similarity there seems to be between such diverse religions. It does make obvious the idea of some basic connection. It's a shame that so many claim absolute exclusivity, and become willing to shed blood over the differences. Much like children fighting over claim to a toy, only worse. Perhaps we'll all grow up and realize that it's just not worth fighting over. God, Goddess, Deity, whatever name we choose, loves and cares about us all.
Thank you again for clearing things up. It just goes to show the prejudices that we have regarding names and gender and such.--Dee
