Reply #304: Ancient religions were a lot more complex...

[Irreverend IX]

Than "goddess culture" implies. Pagan pseudoscholars seem to think that many pre-Christian peoples worshipped some vague, overarching concept of "the goddess," and some imply that this belief helped cultivate a peaceful society. But the little information that remains on the pagan religions shows that their theology and cosmology was much more complex, usually involving large numbers of god-forms, and no "tranquil goddess cultures" have ever been identified. The presence of feminine deities in a religion has never precluded violence within the associated society.
