Green Tara, Mary Mother of Jesus, Goddess of Mercy:Quan Yin, Earth Mother

From strictly a cultural Anthropological perspective, Green Tara and the 21 Taras, Mary the mother of Jesus, The Goddess of mercy(Quan Yin) and Earth Mother (as well as a variety of Feminine Dieties in multiple religions all over earth all represent Divine Mother.

This is the most ancient and primal force in human civilization and before there were male dieties there were female earth mother carvings because without a fertile female representative the tribes all died out. So from a cultural anthropological point of view the concept of Divine Mother was about life itself and whether the tribe was fertile and survived and progressed or whether it went extinct and died out.

Male dieties had more to do with Warfare and Political control and came later in human evolution up through the complexities of change to modern day societies. However, I think it is very important that we still honor all the Earth mother fertility type of dieties because if humans can't reproduce (unless physical immortality is found) we will all be extinct within about 100 years of that moment.
