This is the Goddess Kali (on the left) in all her terrible glory. She represents, in Hinduism, a concentration of the angry female force. She is the Goddess of blood, death, and war. Notice the severed hands which make her skirt, the bloody scalp of one of her victims, in one of her hands, and her garland of skulls. Her followers still form one of the darkest sects of Hinduism.
Of course, Kali also stands for dark sensual energy...and in keeping with that notion, the Atheist Republic has come up with a very sensual and seductive version of the Goddess. Which are you drawn to?

Oh, please. Created by men, drawn by men, drooled over by men. Sensual and seductive? You can always watch X-Men and their blue chick.

I am starting not to favor goddesses because my experience with them shows that after about 12 years they want to disappear or run away.

Interesting, the resemblance to the Aztec earth goddess, Coatlicue ("one with the skirt of serpents" ).
"She is represented as a woman wearing a skirt of writhing snakes and a necklace made of human hearts, hands, and skulls. Most Aztec artistic representations of this goddess emphasize her deadly side, because Earth, as well as loving mother, is the insatiable monster that consumes everything that lives. She represents the devouring mother, in whom both the womb and the grave exist."

Kali has always been one of my favourites when it comes to goddesses, in the sense of characters in mythical stories (my other favourtite in the Morrigan). I like both images and identify with both, but I think the left one is really cool.

seems atheists best stick with orbs, obelisks and such...

I am drawn to none but both look kinky to me.

I prefer number two

Hm. Shouldn’t the Athiest Republic come up with something totally different? Less God-related perhaps?

none

I could be wrong. But I though she was a protector of the innocent, and the severity of her wrath, or blood lust, as you mentioned was toward those would harm them.
Not that I believe in that one way or another. That's just what I remember. I'll have to look that up.

I can be both..

Kali is actually an Arabic word for fierce, caustic or destructive. It appears in English as alkali.
In Swahili, which has Arabic roots, it is a wonderfully versatile word. Any "spicy hot" food is kali. A fierce dog is kali. Extremely good work is kali. A very sharp knife is kali. My wife is certainly kali should I fail to wipe my shoes when I come in.

Not sure these two are related. Kali is the feminine form of kala which means time. Kali also means dark skinned

@Spongebob But nonetheless, the Hindu godess, Kali, is just that - Kali.

I like the destructive one. 😁 Seductive female forms are entirely too common - I would rather see a badass.

I like her, but I suspect she's bitch slapped me all over Southern California a few times.
