It's true! Eeeek!!
Only our soul is more female... The soul receives Christ
This may be no more than a common psychological phenomenon called intrusive thoughts. Accept them for what they are and push them away.
Hahaha. That kind of throws a wrench into their teachings about the maleness and femaleness of our body being a reflection of the maleness or femaleness of our soul if everyone has feminine souls.It's true! Eeeek!!

Why? I'm saying it's not a bad thing and appears to be an important dimension of religious experience.

Lol! I laughed at the part that mentioned Martin Luther's obsession with the Devil's behind

Can she enter your body?
If you are familiar with the story of Artemis and the hunter Actaeon, you know that one must be careful with how you approach the Goddess. I respect that idea.

I googled her. I'm very impressed. Now I know what you mean by her strength!
Can the Roman and Greek gods enter people's bodies ( like Yahweh and spirits do)?
If they don't bother you, that's fine. I could qualify it further to "Accept them for what they are and push them away if they are bothersome and/or disturbing". Some people do find them disturbing.

What about Hindu gods/godesses, can they enter people's bodies? I ask this because it is relevant to the topic. If a Deity is actually entering a person's flesh, such a degree of intimacy could lead to sexual arousal.
Possession of a human by a deva? I do not believe possession is a belief in Hinduism, with the possible exception of a dead person's unhappy ghost.

You mean like possession? I don't know. What I do believe is that the gods can impart emotions and ideas directly to our minds. For example, in the Iliad we see Athena directly give courage and recklessness to various people.
You're right, although in some places where there has been mixing with tribal faiths or Christianity, it's there on the fringes. For me personally, being the traditionalist I am, both possession by a deity and the idea of making love to a deity are just completely foreign, way 'out there'.

Yeah, in Christianity we humans are temples of the Holy Spirit, so we are literally houses of flesh where God enters , dwells, and has his way. It can get rather kinky and frisky at times...what?
It sounds like Hinduism doesn't traditionally have that degree of intimacy between Deities and humans
I do not know.

If I did that I'd suffer third degree burns in unpleasant areas.
In all seriousness, I don't really understand wanting to make love to spiritual deities, not that I have a problem with it.
