Did God Have a Wife?

For a few years, claims have circulated in some circles that the Bible was edited to hide from its readers that God originally was conceived of as having a wife. Is this true? Is the Bible lying to us about how Yahweh was originally worshipped? Are Judaism and Christianity just religions that "came about naturally" as patriarchal societies edited out the female deity of the Israelites?!?

Short answer; no. Jason and Martin are here to tell you all about how this claim uses true claims twisted and presented to make your question your faith.
