What was associated with the worship of the goddesses in the ancient world?

Les explains that the building projects of the ancient world, such as the temple to a female goddess at Corinth, were not for libraries or places of education but for worship, and they used slave labor. He says this wasn't just Corinth; it was the whole ancient world, where people worked and sweated to appease their gods and goddesses. Along with goddess worship, which he says was even worse than male-god worship, came gross immorality. It was part and parcel of everyday experience, from the common people all the way to the top, and they didn't know any different. Yet the Corinthians had been washed, saved from their sins and iniquity, showing that God's grace is always greater for the individual who partakes of it.
