What is your opinion on human Goddess worship?

The Hindu Supreme Being is not a human. It is a lot like the Judaeo-Christian God... in fact, the Hindu name for the Supreme Being is actually a Hebrew word, believe it or not... so there has actually been some cross-talk between the two religions in the ancient past.

Idol worship and "Graven Images" are forbidden in Judaeo-Christianity, because a physical representation of God is misleading. The "Greatest Conceivable Being" is not a purely physical Being. He is a Metaphysical Being.

Judaeo-Christianity is actually NOT "Monotheistic". In the Bible, when "God" creates the Universe and mankind, He says, "Let US create..." and is referred to as "Elohim" which is a plural word for "Gods". Further, both Moses and Daniel referred to the Hebrew God as "The God of Gods" (Plural).

In any case, the Hebrews got this mostly right. The True Creator, the Greatest Conceivable Being, should not be visualized as an idol or a human. Balaam said, "God is not a Man... neither the Son of Man" (Numbers 23: 19,) which is precisely why the Jews had Jesus of Nazareth Crucified for Blasphemy, and perhaps rightfully so.

So I would say do not visualize God as an idol, human, or animal, or any other physical thing. God is not purely physical, as I said, God is Metaphysical.

It is not anybodies place to. Judge anyone's religion. If you take away a man's religion you take away his humanity..

The Quran strictly tells you to mind your own religion and let others be.

Quote: Laqum dhi nuqum waliyadeen. (to them their own religion and to you your own)

Iv grown up. Knowing Christians, sikh, bhramins, and people for all walks of life.. Fundamentally we all come to The same conclusion, there is only 1 God,(different names but the same being) God is good.

[Ronald_25]

I couldn't agree with you more brother 👍🏼 I just wanted to know people's outlook on Goddess worship as it is only currently practiced in Hinduism and formerly in Greek Mythology.

[red_knight]

Many many more like vikings, African natives and the Arabs did too... But as I said, Who are we to judge? That job belongs solely to the 1 who created us.

[Ronald_25]

True, but we are allowed to have opinions. I feel that society has made religion such a touchy subject. I want to know what people think of Goddess workship, honest opinion, as I stay unbiased (well, try to 😁) I feel I'll find that it is not all negative.

But I am very happy with your input, I had a feeling that you would be very knowledgeable in this area.

[red_knight]

Well thank you for the kind words brotherman.

[Ronald_25]

Anytime brother 👍🏼

I only recently learned that Goddess Durga (the war goddess in my profile pic) is a direct descendent of for Goddess Parashakti, whom I believe to be the one true ultimate entity.

Durga is the only entity that is worshipped by sura (Devas) check this shit out:

[Ronald_25]

Lol enjoy Hinduism then, we have thousands of Goddesses

[Female_assasin]

Stupidity

[Ronald_25]

Hahaha, now why am I not surprised? 😂

[Ronald_25]

Naz, does the Quran strictly tell you to mind your own religion and let others be?

Quote: Laqum dhi nuqum waliyadeen. (to them their own religion and to you your own)

[Female_assasin]

Bruh , u asked for my opinion , you literally invited me to your question , i'm not here with an axe demanding for your head, i'm just giving out what u asked from me lol

[Ronald_25]

Lol I am not telling you not to give your opinion. I'm asking for your advice as I am not well versed in the Quran. My Brother, the Red Knight has been so kind to provide me with that quote.

Also, don't call be Bruh, considering what we pm each other, it feels incesty and I'm not a fan of the incest fetish 🤢🤮

[Ronald_25]

I knew you thought it is stupid before I asked you to give an opinion 😂 I was looking for an Islamic advisor...

[Female_assasin]

first of all , it was what "you" were doing and not me , i didn't really do anything , i wanted us to be friends but u wanted more than that. second of all , Yes, the Quran does mention that , this verse was sent down from God (Allah) to prophet muhammed (SAW) when his tribe was forcing him to abide by their religion.

[Ronald_25]

Yeah but... I feel that we're friends who discuss important issues we're dealing with now and again along with some tasteful erotica 👌🏼

I fucking love you Naz 😘 based on looks, personality, savagery, and sexual preferences.

[Female_assasin]

Awwwww thank u dearie , what can i do? i'm an aries😝 anyhow , i really like u too , especially your caring and soft personality 😍

[Ronald_25]

Yes, it's good to be friends with a fellow savage. It's usually the case that when people like us are on opposite ends, no good can come of it. But when wez on the same side, we can do some damage 👨🏽‍🏫👩🏼‍🏫

Besides Hinduism and ancient European paganisms, there is also modern paganism which reveres goddesshood and goddesses.

A lot of neopaganism does not literally believe in a pantheon of gods, instead seeing less personal male and female divine forces in the universe. However the traditional pagan deities are still focused on as useful archetypes for worship and magic. And some neopagans are radical polytheists - they really do believe in real, metaphysical gods and goddesses.

Personally I am not into worship, as I do not believe in obeisance or hierarchy. But many pagans do. And the inclusion of female divinity as well as priestesshood and the opportunity to locate femininity as well as masculinity in the cosmic is one of the main reasons more and more people are turning to paganism, as this has been progressively removed from the Abrahamic religions over the millennia.

My favourites: Ma'at, Ereshkigal, Athena, Brigid, Neith, Áine, Nephthys, Hecate.

[LoU_Hades]

We vicious gods among ourselves don't like Kali because she is crazy AF. 😜

[Ronald_25]

Kali is the most feared Goddess of them all, enjoying drinking blood of demons, wearing a garland of their heads and dancing on their headless corpses... Yeah, I can see how she may not sit well with all people.

[LoU_Hades]

She has no class, she is like my Cerberus just an animal.

[Ronald_25]

Not really, Kali is the alter ego of Goddess Parvati who is the Hindu goddess of fertility, love, beauty, marriage, children, and devotion; as well as of divine strength and power.

That last one is hot. Imagine getting a massage from her

[Ronald_25]

Agreed. Rati (Sanskrit: रति, Rati) is the Hindu goddess of love, carnal desire, lust, passion and sexual pleasure

[PondyPand]

Multiple arms equals not human... oxymoron.

[Ronald_25]

But, they are not human... otherwise they would just be women 😕🤔 I don't understand where your confusion lies...

[PondyPand]

Just said they aren't human... Someone needs to learn how to read...

[Ronald_25]

Lol, someone needs to go back to school 👩🏼‍🏫 (I'm assuming that you are blonde 👱🏻‍♀️) and learn what the word oxymoron means. Your initial opinion cannot be an oxymoron can it?

[PondyPand]

I was calling your question an oxymoron. Yeah, maybe you should go back to school. Oh, and not blonde. Typical gag male just assuming shit.

[nerms123]

Whatever makes people happy

[Ronald_25]

They make me very happy 🧚🏽‍♀️🥰

[reptocarl]

In my beliefs God proved they don’t exist

[Ronald_25]

In my belief, a goddess birthed the gods who created the fabric of reality, time and space.

[reptocarl]

Ok I believe in freedom of beliefs

[Ronald_25]

Fair, but some people use beliefs and stories for coping mechanisms and to draw wisdom and reduce stress, people like myself. If you can do all of that without belief, then that's great 👍🏼

[AngelLily]

I don't support it.

[Ronald_25]

👍🏼
