A religion without a Goddess is already half way to atheism

[Philosophette]

This pregnant goth girl told me that a bit ago. It makes sense though now that I've thought about it.

OKay.

God couldnt be a woman.

What religion lacks a Goddess presence?

[insoundfromwayout]

I think God is generally considered a concept, rather than an Idol, in most serious theology.

It's like giving a car or boat a girls name, and calling it she. As in, "yep, she's a good boat, sailed the seven seas on her"

It's just an easier way to talk about it, and obviously has the history.

It obviously has nothing to do with sexism.

Protestant Christianity and Islam are perhaps the most notable.

How so?

No, God is generally asexual (in most religions), and like insound said, calling God 'He' is just a way of saying it.

Because their respective deities are explicitly masculine.

Perhaps you should clarify what you mean by "Goddess presence."
