How do you think life might have been better if God created a partner for himself so there would be a Mother God as well as Father God?

Mother nature

God and mother nature might have 'got together' to create life on Earth; but that was all.

Some religions suggest that He did. Google "Asherah."

Either way, such conjecture is way beyond my pay grade.

Actually God did have a Wife-goddess. Her name was Asherah and it seems she had her statue in the temple.

Read more about her here: "God's Wife Edited Out of the Bible -- Almost"

there is Mother Earth and Father Sky

All right.

As for the benefits you mention, There are none.

She was a 'proper' wife, submissive and obedient ;-))

"Yahweh and Asherah were a divine pair" but Asherah was for the most part edited out of the Bible. Did God want that?

Interesting material; comments interesting also.

Yes, thanks. I clicked on JacobA's link.

Later maybe.

Some gods do have mates.

Citations?

Yeah would seem natural.

A human trying to analyze God is like a Ford trying to analyze Henry.

Oh God!  The arguments!

Yeah the Ford might be confused about who invented him and try to analyze Edison by mistake.

Aye..

Awfully early in the day to be drunk isn't it ?

Why don't you tell God to check with you the next time he thinks he should do some creating. He's pretty easy to get along with as long as you're not trying to worship statues or some such.

I checked this Asherah thing; it seems to be based on a bunch of statues. And where do you get this "submissive to men" bs? I don't know any women who are submissive to men. Not even a little bit.

Let me put it this way.  When you are EVERYTHING?  ALL?   A partner is small.  You are all partners and are never alone.  Unless you want to be.  You are the SOURCE of all partners.

I don't need to be drunk to inspire my thinking capacity.

Hmmm.. ok.

God's rules are just for mankind; he can have statues if he wants.
Says somewhere in the bible that women are supposed to be submissive to man.. Good for them if they are not.
