and they say god created man from his own image, so what does that make women? A lower existence? Well, since the bible was literally written by humans, isn't it quite likely that they stretched the truth a bit so that men would dominate?

Because God says not to add to the Bible or take away from it, and He NEVER TOLD US OF A GODDESS>
There you go, if it isnt in the Bible, it is NOT for us.
The BIble is the inspired word of God as told to men. IF God had wanted a GOddness to be worshipped, HE would have said so and it would bein scipruture. ITs not.
SO no, those who believe in God, will never believe in a goddess.

They were both made in the image of God, but the male was made first as the most similar to his image. Also, God always appears as a male image in the Bible.

There in no mention of a goddess in the bible "only God". I believe God be neither male or female, since the bible never
mentions anything of it. But that is not important! faith in Jesus
Christ is what is important.
God loves you......God bless

well Eve was created by the ribs of Adam and God created Adam so man means all humankind. there is no such thing as "goddess" it would sound like women created men and we all know that that's never true.

God is not male or female both are created in his image. Men and women represent different aspects of God. It is just easier to say HE

Yes, they stretched the truth, but the truth was that men wanted to keep the control, so they even made up stuff like that God wants women to be "subject" to her husband.

Actually, there is archaeological evidence that the jewish people originally worshipped a god (El) and a goddess (Asherah) and that later tablets and scrolls began writing Asherah out in favor of El.. scholars are, to date, unable to explain why... but, give them time.

I've heard it said that the mother of us all has a name so sacred that we don't speak it, and we don't even speak of her--God the Father would not allow her name to be desicrated the way his own is because she is his beloved.

Why don't you study up on the history of women BEFORE Judeo-Christian values came onto the scene?
