Does Goddess Exist? Can you justify your belief? Why not Goddess instead of God?

Answer 1

Since it's all fictional, do what you want.

Answer 2

I believe Goddess exists, mothers exist, Goddess is mother.
I do not have to justify my beliefs to anyone other than myself, how one worships is a personal thing (or should be).

Why does it have to be either or?
I believe in a God and a Goddess, it works well with the polarity that nature has in most of the higher life forms.

Answer 3

Note: This is assuming the creator of this question is Christian. If she is not, disregard this if necessary.
I would have to say it's God. The only way I can *justify* my belief is because of faith (Do not attack me for this. You believe what you believe, and I have the right to the same.). I, however, do not believe that God has a gender in the physical sense. Though the majority of Christians refer to God as though He was a male through millenia of tradition. In reality, He's more of an "It". By that concept, the idea of a Judeo-Christian Goddess, unless it's analogous to my concept of God, would be blasphemous.

Answer 4

The way I see it, is that everything is sacred. The material world we can look at as the Divine Mother. The force that inhabits it could be called the Divine Father. Or we could skip over the whole gender thing and just say it's all sacred. I usually call myself an atheist, if I'm required to label my beliefs, because I don't believe in a theistic God, though others might say I'm a pantheist, though, or a pagan.
As to justification, I see the material world in front of me, in and around me, and I feel the sense of awe that it inspires. So my own senses tell me it's there, and that's what I call the sacred.

Answer 5

They are simultaneously one and different. God does not exist without Goddess. They are inseparable. Radha and Krishna, and another name for them Is Laksmi, Narayan, Sita, Rama One God one Goddess many names. God is Love and in love there must be relationship. God is the Supreme Lover and She is the Supreme Beloved. We are all down here on earth trying to imitate them but it never works out because it is a perverted reflection of the Absolute Love.

"Hare" is also the feminine in the Maha Mantra

Answer 6

I humbly think that all your questions have been satisfactorily answered in the Holy Books of the successive Messengers of the One True God.
My quotation of a sacred verse up here does not mean that I completely understand its content. I only believe that it shines my way, and perhaps it may shine yours.

XIX. To every discerning and illuminated heart it is evident that God, the unknowable Essence, the Divine Being, is immensely exalted beyond every human attribute, such as corporeal existence, ascent and descent, egress and regress. Far be it from His glory that human tongue should adequately recount  His praise, or that human heart comprehend His fathomless mystery. He is, and hath ever been, veiled in the ancient eternity of His Essence, and will remain in His Reality everlastingly hidden from the sight of men. "No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision; He is the Subtile, the All-Perceiving."...
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 46)

Answer 7

I'm Wiccan. We worship a goddess and a god. However, for me, those are simply the names we give to things that our minds are too limited to understand properly. They aren't actually personifications of anything.

That's the beauty of Wicca. It's up to your own interpretation.

Answer 8

most people who serve a goddess wil also tell you that they have a god as well--there has to be both, because that is the way the world is

Answer 9

First of all, the simple language of the Bible would contradict your statement. All references to God are in the "male" aspect. All of God's references to Himself, are in the "male" aspect.

As for His exsistance...well, you must find that for yourself. Your question would seem to say that you are more interested in making yourself and your ideas be the most important things. That would preclude you from ever finding the truth, except what you decide is best for you.
That leaves you as "god" not living to serve and worship the true God. I hope this pleases you...because in the end, this life will be all the satisfaction you had.

Answer 10

I believe there are both - we have a Heavenly Father (God) and Heavenly Mother (Goddess)...since we are children of God, wouldn't it make sense that we have a Heavenly Father and Mother???

Answer 11

Neither Exist
