Okay, as per my original post, I said deities of _Christianity_.  Not any 
old god, but ones worshipped in _Christianity_.   I know for a fact that 
this chick isn't part of the Trinity...

I don't care to think of all the pagan gods mentioned in the Bible.  Nor do 
I really care.  I was speaking of the Deities of Christianity, and there is 
no mention of any feminine deity in the Bible as pertains to Christianity.
