    Hello, self-identified goddess here. I bring queer politics to religion. Have a blog article on the proper grammar for referring to gods: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/god-should-never-be-a-proper-noun-4684aed46cb0

    However, if you want some less political and more heartwarming sapphic goddess content, here’s the story of how I cured My girlfriend’s sleep apnea with goddess magic: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/curing-sleep-apnea-with-magic-vi-s-spellbook-d1c6f1658cdb

        It’s nothing to do with religion. When you fetishise identities you don’t belong to, it can be helpful to listen to people who belong to those identities, so you can fetishise us respectfully. Otherwise you’d be talking about having sex with people you won’t respect, which I’m sure you don’t want to do.

          I do dislike the current monotheistic understanding of gods and religion, which is more what the comic is clowning on. It isn’t about any physical entities walking the earth, but the untouchable concept of an all powerful capital G god. It’s not sexualizing you in any way, but a specific diety that needs to be brought down from its throne. I’m sorry if that wasn’t how you interpreted it.

            Thank you, and yes it wasn’t how I interpreted it. See, that’s the problem with calling one person “God” when there are lots of people who are gods. It just leads to confusion. I’m sure you and I agree on a lot, which is why I posted those articles.
