Some of the problems with this are first we need to come up with a definition of what is a god vs non god being. Does a god have to be omnipotent, omnipresent and or omniscient? What combination of those is acceptable?
Lastly there is the creator deity definition where they created the universe. But is the creator of the universe god if they were just running a physics experiment? If a Physicist created a universe would they be a god?
From the OP,
my second premise was that GOD DID NOT write any of the bibles. Man actually wrote most of them (if not ALL of them), and I think their egos might've muddled up the waters enough (in their "holy" translations) so they could run things their way rather than hers.
The final premise that I offered was that, "She didn't give a rat's a*** which religion or bible we followed as long as we followed the Golden Rule.
So no, nothing written in the Christian (or any other) bible holds sway,
except for the 'golden rule'. That's means no creator god, no omnipotence etc. These are assumed to just be the result of men's egos, as they project their visions of male superiority onto their 'god'. The
real god(dess) need not have any of those qualities, and as a
woman she would not be expected to.
Of course proving that someone is a god(for some definition of god) that does not prove they should be worshipped, I would be worried about anyone claiming to be god who was that insecure to demand all this worship.
Of course not. The only thing She would be asking of us is to follow the 'golden rule'.
So the question is, how would we know whether She was actually doing this? Just asking isn't good enough, there has to be consequences if we don't - consequences that would prove it wasn't just the laws of physics at play. So what sign could She show us that those consequences are real? She would punish or reward us in a way that couldn't occur 'naturally'.
This morning I was thinking about global warming and how we are continuing to poison the planet despite knowing what to do to stop it. I was also thinking about Christmas, and the practice of putting a lump of coal in the stockings of children who have been naughty. I then imaged what if Santa was real, and could really do that to people who weren't reducing their carbon footprint. My idea was that Santa could collect up all the net carbon each human was responsible for emitting during the year, and make it into a lump of coal which he would then drop down their chimney at midnight on Christmas Eve.
Come Christmas day the average person would wake up to find a 4.5 tonne lump of coal planted in their fireplace. But some good citizens would receive less, and some bad ones a lot more. The worst offenders would be squashed like a bug by an enormous black rock that couldn't possibly have gotten there by natural means. OMG, Santa is real! We better be good from now on!
This works just as well for a goddess too. Instead of Santa it could be the Goddess of Nature punishing us for making a mess of our planet. And instead of coal it would be a cloud of black soot descending over us. Scientists would have no explanation for how all this this carbon suddenly precipitated out of the atmosphere, and even less idea how these clouds were able to follow people around while not touching anything else. But the people would know.
