Is Lilith a Goddess, suppressed by patriarchal society, or the ultimate bad influence?

Question

If you don't know who or what I'm talking about get your two points elsewhere please--serious replies only.
The Sumerian/Hebrew daemoness, Lilith has a captivating mythos surrounding her. Most agree that she was cast out of the garden of eden for standing up to Adam, and perhaps even for fighting him off when he tried to rape her, and this makes me think she got royally screwed. It is easy for this look at her beginnings to see her as an antiheroic, victim gone mad, who made the best she could out of really bad circumstances. However if you look at what she became, it's hardly anything to be proud of. She wandered the Earth in the guise of a whore, seducing any male creature she could, dropping litters of children in every corner of the globe with no intention or desire of caring for them in any way. She became the most powerful daemon in the world, but all she cared to use that power for was to feed her hungry crotch. Is this a goddess? Or someone we're better off forgetting?

Bible bangers with no brains , who idiotically spout "demonz be evil, duh!" and "god dint like her so neither do i" are doubtless going to waste their time and limit on questions by saying retarded things here--lets all ignore them and hope they go away.........

actually kithcy, he sent three angels name sanvoy, sansevoy, and smengelhoff to bring her back or kill her, she made a deal with them and now their names can be used to banish her--I would have loved to have included everything I know about her in my question, but I ran out of characters.

Answer 1

ok, it depends on which religion you look at I guess. In my opinion she is a goddess, albeit, one I know little about. She was royally screwed, and I think that can screw anyone up a little bit.

In some branches of Paganism, and part of my beliefs, nothing is wholly good or evil. We all have a little demon in us, and the test is to find the balance. My guess with Lilith is that she got screwed and then her balance was upset, so she became the dark creature of legend that we know her as today. I revere her and respect her, even with all that. Why? She demanded equality from Adam, since in the "story", they were joined at birth as twins, and then refused to submit to man. Enter the Christian doctrine, and she is then turned into a primarily evil creature, whether it was by her own means or by circumstances around her. I might be a little ticked off if that stuff happened to me.

Answer 2

Well, the story goes a little deeper than that. She first left the garden and God sent an angel to bring her back. She said she would go back, only if she was to be considered equal. The answer was no, she turned her back. (From the stories I have read) this angered God and he turned her into a daemon. She used it to get even with men.

I've seen it said she was a Goddess. Others say she's merely Semetic liturature/legends. It's one of the oldest stories I have found of a succubus.

Answer 3

I definitely don't think she can be considered a Goddess, and I don't know that "most" would agree that she was cast out of the garden of Eden or that she even existed. I'd guess that most of the people who read this would never have heard of her.

Answer 4

I think you have presented a very slanted view of Lilith and have missed the point of the Mythology where she is concerned.
She is a Goddess and perhaps you should forget Her and hope she doesn't remember you.

Answer 5

I hope the Christian Bible thumpers go away---------------far away, from everything.

Lilith was the ultimate she wolf. Forget her? She can make for interesting conversations when referring to Genesis. Tho, the stories of her have to come from the Midrash. I think she is the type who makes the world interesting---how boring without the likes of her.

Answer 6

The FORMER, most definitely.
