Was Anna Nicole a Modern Goddess?
Friday February 9, 2007
Late last night, I wrote Laurie Sue Brockway, author of "A Goddess is a Girl's Best Friend," and asked for her thoughts on the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Here's what Brockway wrote back: This culture has come to know...

Yeah, and Mel Gibson is the modern Jesus. What a crock.
Anna Nicole was a drunk, whore and acted like a disgusting slut most of the time, she was always impaired, loud and rude, shockingly rude, acting like a big spoiled baby. She made me gag!!! The constant reference to Marilyn was a joke, it was only she that felt she was Marilynesque, I bet she died from a drug overdose. Good riddens to bad rubish, Goddess? Hell NO! When will society stop puting these junkies on a pedastal?
I think Anna Nicole was a very beautiful woman, I think her most big mistake was got married a rich man, so older: he does not let her to enjoy her fortune after he passed away... the facts says that!
I hope that she is with her Son, and at peace. I am sickened by the amount of hatred some people have for a troubled soul they never even knew. The woman is dead. Have a little respect. At least reserve your judgment until such a time as you become *perfect* yourselves.
Anna Nicole Smith is an Idol. But no goddess. She was a follower of the new Liberal-Progressive view of morality and life. As did her son. As do the literally millions of stories of the untold dead that embraced the licentiousness that has risen again in the garb of social-progressive ideolgy AND sadly "theology." No matter how the story is wriiten of those that embrace the new morality of "San Francisco values," created since the sixties, two"traditional" little phrase sums it up: "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." "The wages of sin is death." Let us pray that the true Idol of lascivious hedonism followed like a gender confused "Goddess" of licentiousness, so worshiped by our liberal culture, will soon end. Sparing so many people the fate of those like Smith and her son.
BUT . . . I do hope so, that Anna Nicole Smith is in peace now, and is embracing her son in the kingdom ruled forever, not by an Idol, but by the Son of God, Who once was on a cross similar in shape as the one she sometimes wore around her neck. Love endures.
why such hate towards a person most of us never even knew. people make choices in life different than we make for ourselves...so be it. may she rest in peace, and god bless her daughter and the rest of her 'family'.
I feel sorry for Anna Nicole Smith. She had physical beauty, but not much else, and never seemed to achieve joy in her life. She was a sex symbol. Celebrated for being a celebrity. If you want an example of a Goddess, try Mother Teresa.
Let's hear how Anna Nicole was exploited by good liberal's like Hugh Hefner as she also attempted to exploit herself. To make her into some kind kinf of tragic "feminist as victim"is almost as silly as the deifacation of Marylyn Monroe.She made choices,albeit poor ones.Ultimatly it is her infant child who will suffer for her choices.
David, You're obviously a right-wing fundie. In other words, you are correct. Smith made choices, but for Darwin's sake, don't ever try to insinuate she and the people around her be held accountable for those choices.
Be tolerant of diversity.
What can I say? I followed the tragedy of her son's death on E' Tonight, caught her interviews on the Web, took every chance to read about her in the gossip "rags," and lamented her death-too-early life. In other words, I was like so many others, attracted to this woman who made choices, some not so good, but human choices. Which one of us is going to cast the first stone? She was, avowedly, a celebrity - well, so is Paris Hilton. People are fascinated by those who live so-called "charmed" lives; who doesn't envy someone so much in the public eye? Wihle we mere humans struggle every day to make ends meet, people like Anna Nicole struggled to be a "personality," embued with glamour, but also with tragedy. It's the old case of "oh, it's so horrible, I don't want to look; but I look." Like examining an insect under a microscope, or watching a cougar devour an antelope on nature TV. You don't want to look - but you do...Let Anna Nicole rest in peace with her son, who also died too young.
David Bolton and Stephen Davidson, put a sock in your "I'm OK, you're a 'leeebrul'" buffoonery. The person who Amy Cunningham quotes with jibberish, absurd comments about Anna Nicole Smith are her own only. To quote another Bnet poster: Take your strawman down a long walk on a short pier. Anna Nicole Smith was a drunk, drug abuser and gold digger who paid the price for her reckless lifestyle, if you can call what she did "living" in any genuine sense. Wow, we agree! And it will shock you no doubt that I am a Christian but of the non-fundie variety (the kind America is in desperate need of to balance off the Jesus Camp/Dobson blowhards). By the way, be careful who you vilify...a fair number of the far right base feel similarly toward Elvis Presley as a some apparently do about Anna Nicole Smith ;-)
oh, shut up! she died of a broken heart . she tried to live for her daughter, but her grief for her son was too much to bear.
I think Anna Nicole Smith could have achieved a lot more out of her life. It's not that I think fun and entertainment aren't important, but they shouldn't be all that you live for--especially racy, sex-driven fun. I just think it's sad that she couldn't have had a second chance--to turn from a supposed gold digger and sex symbol to a true entertainer (not Playboy type). She probably did die from a drug overdose, and she'd almost certainly had been using drugs and alchohol before her death, but I think we should forgive her. After all, how will that sink us from our more "respectable" lifestyles?
You want TRUTH??? Can you handle the TRUTH??? Ok, here is the TRUTH .:) Anna Nicole Smith Knew Jesus & Jesus knew Anna Nicole Smith! Watch her TESTIFY Jesus Christ is her Lord and Savior and will always be . What an awesome video! http://www.youtube.com/user/RandyNein
(I m sure this pisses off the devil, the religious spirit, jezebel, and the secular media)
No one can say, Jesus Christ is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit . 1 Corinthians 12:4
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God. Luke 12:8-9
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us . Romans 5:8

I appreciated this article on ANS and goddess archetypes. I have another view about that, though. Anna wasn't so much a "goddess", but a "representative of" the goddess, in the tradition of slave girls chosen as sacrifices in Aztec and other old religious traditions with a powerful priestcraft. And as such, she was a tragedy (even if one with a sense of humor at times). I'd be interested to know what you think. Peace:
