One of my college professors was lecturing us on mesopotamian mythology, but brought in other unrelated topics. She strikes me as being a liberal, atheist, and feminist out to prove her point in class, and teach her opinion as though it were fact. Here's more or less what she said two days ago:
"You see that the mesopotamians had female gods that are demoted from being sky gods to being earth gods, stripped of their power. And by the time we get to Judeo-Christian and Islamic tradition, there are no more female deities represented in the religion."
Does anyone else see the flaw in this statement? Does anyone else see what she failed to mention? Christians, Jews, Muslims: what do you think about this?
