The Rt. Rev Sarah A. Morrigan of the Collyridian Episcopate makes an interesting point in her weblog concerning how a follower of the Filianic Faith of God the Daughter might see the story of Jesus:

As a Filianist, my faith is universal in that it expresses eternal Truth about Our Divine Mother and Her creation in the form of fundamental Mythos rather than through a particular historical narrative. ... Some evangelical and conservative Christians praise C.S. Lewiss story of Narnia. They feel that Narnia is a parable of Christs gospel retold using symbols and allegories, and that Aslan is the symbol for Christ. That does not mean they have constructed a religion that worships a lion. To me, Christianity has been a Narnia of sorts, that eventually led me to the ultimate original behind its stories. I had never worshipped Jesus any more than an evangelical Christian would worship Aslan the Lion.

Incidentally, while we fully understand the purely analogical nature of this comparison, symbolism is always a living reality. While the Lion may seem to be a distinctly male god-figure, in actuality the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet (pictured above) was commonly depicted in human/lion form. Sri Durga, in the Devi Mahatmya (the Scripture which brought the worship of Dea as Supreme and Absolute Deity back to India in the Middle Ages) rides a lion, and the oldest known zoomorphic sculpture (some 32,000 years old) was originally called by archaeologists the "Lion Man" but has since been discovered to be a Lion Lady and indeed (as you can see from the picture to the left) bears a striking resemblance to the Egyptian Sekhmet of tens of millennia later. Since the lion is always and everywhere a solar symbol, this once again discounts the patriarchal "lunarization" of Feminine Deity.
