So, do you think there is only a God or do you believe in the Goddess as well?

I love this line of thinking - it has a beauty that is just perfect, to my mind. I don't, however, subscibe to it. My idea of god is that of an energy and us as energy beings that do not have a gender - though we get to choose one when we come here and I think we each take turns being both (it's all just a different learning perspective, really).

I will say, though, that when my husband and I got married - the ceremony that we used for the wedding (and even the babies later) followed a mother earth (Gaia), father in heaven symbolism that was lovely. Hard for his family (he is catholic) but we wrote it ourselves and felt well represented by it. Certainly our earthly existence is a combination of the earthly and ethereal, the mother and father - and that joins perfectly with Beings of Spirit in a physical plane.

Peace!

There is only one God He is Omnipotent
Neopagans believe in a great many goddesses and gods. However, not all neopagans believe in the same ones, or even in any at all. Many neopagans believe in a Goddess and a God that are manifest in all things. Some follow particular pantheons (e.g. Greek, Irish, Norse, Yoruban, Welsh), others don't stick to any one culture, and still others see the Divine in more symbolic terms. Many ascribe certain qualities to different goddesses, such as Athena as the goddess of wisdom; Aphrodite as the goddess of love; Artemis as the goddess of the hunt, and so on. Many pagans and Witches see the Goddess in three aspects, those of Maiden, Mother and Crone; and the God in two, the Young God and the Old God. Other pagans do not believe in any gods at all, but instead honor spirits and/or totems in various forms such as animals or trees, as in many of the native American religions. As is usually the case, defining "God" is a very slippery idea. But these are some of the more common among modern pagans.

BINGO!
They won't see it, but you said it.
It is only if God is sexless that God could create life by Itself.
If God has to be a Father, it takes a Mother to complete the creation of life.
Mother Nature.
You might see a few deep-thinking religious people who will understand that to separate everything into categories of good and evil can lead us to think of Father God (in the sky) as Good, while Mother Nature (on the earth) is Evil. But my mother isn't evil. My mother was the first person to teach me what it is to be loved. And so what is the truth of our ideas about Father and Mother, good and evil and knowing that as humans, we live between the sky and the earth?
Yes. It does take both.

Creation of life only takes God.

On earth God has allowed God's creation to be part of the process and uses one of each, male and female but we are not required elements.

Some species reproduce asexually.There is a species of lizard that only has females-maybe God is the same.

Creation doesn't take both male and female...procreation does. Only God, no goddess.

God bless!!!

Man and woman were one creature in the beginning, until they were seperated. Together we make one species. God is a trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirity), together they make one. When God created, He said let US make man in our image. God can procreate of Himself.
