why some women prefer believe in a god and not in a goddess?!?

Answer 1

Different strokes for different folks.

Answer 2

There is no "goddess" of which women (and men0 believe in (i am assuming) the Christian faith. If you are talking Greek Mythology here, which I study as well has be living in GOD, then that is totally different, there is both. There is only one GOD. It is spoken over and over again that He is a man. But believe whatever you want, just do not interrupt my beliefs.

Answer 3

I see no reason god couldn't be male or female,or both!See my question a coupe hours ago,Does god have a penis?.That poster who says her god is genderless,how sad for IT! The poster "read Koran"wrote an awesome post,to bad it doesn't relate to the gender of god.Personally I think any belief in an almighty god is whacked.but it is an interesting topic..

Answer 4

God has His female aspect, His pleasure potency. In fact, it is much easier to approach God through His female aspect. Therefore we address Him as Radha-Krishna, Sita-Rama, Laxmi-Narayana etc.
God is male in the sense that He is the Supreme Enjoyer. All living beings are meant to help His enjoyment, and then they become happy. So ultimately all living beings are in one sense "female", because they are meant for God's enjoyment and God is the only real male.
And besides that, God in His original form as Lord Krishna, is extremely beautiful and extremely attractive for all the woman. He has wonderful bodily features, He is eloquent speaker, expert in dealings with others, expert in dressing etc. He possesses unlimited wealth, fame, knowledge, beauty, power and renounciation. Women who know Him cannot forget Him even for one second. I am sure, if you learn more about Lord Krishna, you will also be attracted to Him, because He is all-attractive.

Answer 5

Because Gender is a created thing. He is reffered to as male in the bible and changing it whether it matters or not is just to please mankinds (or womankinds) thoughts.

Also, Jesus is God incarnate and He is male, calling one a male and the other female is a direct disrespect to God Himself.

And there are no other gods in which to call a goddess.

Answer 6

I've had several men, and even a few women, call me "Goddess". LOL! Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Answer 7

Many people take the bible (which was written by men) quite literally

I've never seen just male or just female sprout life by themselves so I believe in the duality of a creator

Answer 8

because they have been brainwashed to believe what some old book (written by a bunch of sexist, racist old men) tell them. I also find it funny that when you question any of it you are told that you are bad, evil, ect.
I was taught that asking questions is a sign of intelligence. I guess this is why I strive to have a more personal relationship with the divine as opposed to reading some old book that many people misinterpret anyway.

Answer 9

This is just traditional. The church I attend lets people believe God is a male or female, whatever one prefers.

Answer 10

No one dared so far to claim creating, or being able to create, any single thing, even a hair!! The Creator and The Sustainer of all these Creatures is One only; if there were more than one there would have been confusion in the heavens and the earth! That One is Allah (the only true God).

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 11

God is male, I know this is not PC, but it is true, all the original language is geared to the male gender and frankly it would be kind of weird since Jesus clearly states, that God is his Father.
