Opinion of thealogy?

... the study of the feminine divine...

..and I suppose if you don't believe in the goddess you would call yourself an atheaist???

I don't believe in a literal goddess.. but perhaps you could take the term "goddess" (known as Sophia=wisdom) nonliterally.. which does interest me, since, as humans, we are capable of seeking/having wisdom

and then there's Pele, more on that later..

If "god" is spirit, then I wouldn't call "god" a male, since that would imply a physical being,
so instead of asking if "god" is really a female, I would instead speak of the nonliteral "goddess"

To make this at all compatible with existing Christian theology one needs to make the Holy Spirit feminine (most likely by identifying the Holy Spirit with Sophia) or one needs to posit that Sophia is a fourth persona of the Godhead and not an aspect of the Holy Spirit. Regardless of whether one takes the Sophia language in the Bible as more than merely poetic, the Holy Spirit does have a number of attributes usually considered feminine. I am more comfortable with recognizing the feminine aspects of the Divine in that fashion than via Mariology (or should that be Marialogy?)

Also Ruach and Shekhina for Holy Spirit in Hebrew are feminine. The Holy Spirit can also mean the Divine within.

After I got my master's degree last year, someone in my cohort in my theology program who was pursuing a type of degree that took longer than mine did left her sh**tty husband, went on some sort of archeological tour in Europe, got naked on a beach in Greece, and came back with an understanding of God that she calls "c*nt thealogy". It's definitely not my understanding of God, but at least it admits that the physical world exists. Voted neutral.

According THE LALITA SAHASRANAMA, The Goddess has 1000 names, and yet God only has 101, does that mean the Goddess is ten times better than God? ..or.. is that "fuzzy math?"
