"Good question. I suppose it is because the Earth nurtures us and gives us what we need to live, like a mother does for her children. Same with "Mother Nature".
And I guess it is influenced by early civilizations that had goddesses representing life and fertility, when the goddesses disappeared (because no one believed in them anymore) the concept remained, but was attributed to Nature and Earth instead.
Images of female figures representing Earth and Nature apparently go back almost as far as humanity itself. See related link."
The above would be correct. If you're quoting from a women's studies handbook that is.
Mothers don't give people what they need to live, Fathers do by providing for the family. Mothers simply "organize" the kill that "dad" brings in.
Nor do women bring life. Women have ovums which are empty until the seed/semen enters the egg. Otherwise the woman's ovums are useless and bleed out, her period.
The reason "some" call the Earth "Mother Earth" is because they are dogmatic woman worshipers. In ancient tribal times all deities were male, not female. They certainly did not speak English; thus did not call the planet "Mother Earth.' Civilization is nothing more than a form of slavery. Tribal members were captured and then brought into "civilization" to worship false gods and goddesses. Look up BABALON, its not only a place, its a goddess.
The English language was invented by caucasian masons. Earth is from Erde, another word for "ground." This was in reference to "the bottom of the sea." The Caucasians inserted bits of their hidden matriarchal religion into the language. Europe is matriarchal, not patriarchal.
Even the word "goddess" is simply a combination of GOD and ESSE. Caucasians have been attempting to build a worldwide matriarchy for thousands of years. Every civilization has enslaved its own people in order to provide luxury for priests and women. The age of the fake goddess is ending. Men are waking up. Mother Earth dogma is at an end.
