Why didn't they have any female goddesses to worship in these modern religions?

Question

At least in Greek mythology you got Aphrodite. It would make it a bit more interesting if there were some females involved.

Answer 1

But Pendolino .... what about Jessica Beal? LOL

Answer 2

Not too sure if you're into Buddhism & taoism..But there are many female goddesses...like the Goddess of Mercy / Guan Yin

Anyway..i may be wrong but your last sentence sounds a little weird..sounds like there's some hidden agenda...

Answer 3

Well the Roman Catholics have Mary even though the Bible says nothing about her being the "Queen of Heaven" and it's not mentioned in the Apostle's Creed or Nicene Creed either.

I don't think it's correct that the original Hebrew/Aramaic Bible manuscripts gave God female attributes, how would anyone know unless they have read them and if they have read them then show us where it says that.

Answer 4

I read the other day that in the original Hebrew and Aramaic scripts of the bible, God had many female attributions (nursing others at her breast, for example). They were omitted by the translations by (guess what?) men. So I suppose in Christianity at least you could just as well claim that God was a woman, if not both.

Answer 5

any of the modern pagan revival religions have them, the only one you've prob heard of is wicca but that has a goddess.
I have a personal goddess its quite nice.

gullible sheep are left to follow.
