Anyhoo, I'm probably not quite in the right place here, 'cause I'm basically atheist, BUT!!!
I also practice Goddess worship because my female psyche was so damaged by the misogynistic attitudes of the Watchtower Society, I find it very healing to worship the Feminine Divine...
Besides, Goddess-worship is probably the OLDEST form of worship - of human forms, that is - on the planet... One can look up the "Acheulean Goddess", otherwise known as the Berekhat Ram figurine, which is a feminine figure that is AT LEAST 232,000 - that's TWO HUNDRED THIRTY TWO THOUSAND YEARS old... And it may be as old as 800,000 years - close to a MILLION years old!! (rats! I thought I had a reference to an even older Feminine figurine, but that one - the "Berekhat Ram" figurine, found [ironically] in Israel, is the oldest one discovered, so far...)
Once I learned how 'young' the 'god' of the bible was - only around 3,500 years, which is the age of the oldest remnant of bible writings found so far - I realized that, IF there were a "supreme" being over this planet, it SURE AS HELL wouldn't be the YOUNGEST "deity" to come down the pike...
Nooooooo.... Therefore, I consder Christians to be badly misguided and WOEFULLY ignorant of the extremely recent age of their 'god' - 'gods', actually... And also TOTALLY ignorant about the process by which a Jewish, PLAGIARIZED version of older, PolyTheist religions became the dominant EUROPEAN religion - primarily at the POINT OF ROMAN SWORDS, which MOST Christians of European descent are NOT aware of.
Now I'm off to find the websites discussing the Berekhat Ram figurine, and others....
