in the verse,
'if we were made in His image then call us by our names
most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same,'
what is she trying to say? is she saying that we are all god?
actually that's exactly what she's saying =).
sweet miss Badu is part of the Nation of the Gods and Earths, which teaches that all men are their own God, and that each woman is an Earth, symbolizing that they are the root of creation, and the planet on which all life is born unto.
i'm non religious but it's a pretty beautiful philosophy in my humble opinion.
her music is riddled with influences from those teachings.

the bible teaches that we are all made in god's image and when applied to real life it puts all of us (no matter how wealthy, esteemed, respected or upstanding) on the same level. All of us can inherit the kingdom of god and god's love!

@annelansberry Not exactly. It depends on your definition of god. She is saying that there is the divine within us but it isn't the same concept of god that monotheist religions have.
