Perhaps a sensitive new age god more in tune with the sexual needs of the sisterhood would make for a refreshing change. On the other hand we might just be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire because throughout history pussy-power has traditionally held far more sway over the deeds of man than has god-power. That men think with their dicks is not just an empty slogan and the psychological links between sexual imagery and religious imagery are older than Sanskrit. For example the Hindu god Indra reportedly had no fewer than 1000 vaginas. In point of fact this was 1000 surplus to requirements, since Indra was a bloke, but it brings a whole new meaning to the term "to pleasure oneself".

Hobbes' Choice wrote:"Penetrative force", and this is an advert for religion? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not bending over for god.

He was just rationalising in the face of a challenge to his assumptions. In hindsight, I think he'd see it as a marketing error.

You don't have to bend over, HB. God has been bonking each of us senseless all our lives. Blinded by information and qualia, which is seemingly functioning as a date rape drug, we apparently don't notice the old boy getting himself in there and giving Creation a bit of action. By contrast I expect that a female deity would engulf and consume.

Maybe that's why the deity has such a problem with us having sex? The Lord is a jealous god

Or their ain't no god. Seems more coherent.

Don't like you god? just pick a new one off the shelf! We can even market that God for you, with guarenteed followers. Just ask Saachi and Saachi, or take a trip down to Maddison avenue, NY.

There's no doubt that the Hindus offer easily the widest range of choice to the discerning buyer, Hobbes, and when it comes to weird symbolic erotica to add a touch of frisson to your deity of choice then your Hindu is your man to cater to the most specialised of sexual tastes. No god story is complete without a good shagging story to give the god some credibility and the punters some hope.
