Why can't God be female?

[Melqart]

Ok then what matter is consciousness made of and where is it located?

I respect your arguments in this thread, many of which I have come to experience personally; but I honestly think that it'll bare no fruit. Scientific atheism is a compelling paradigm without the experiential knowledge of the esoteric doctrine. But those leading that said path are doing so for a reason, just as we have our reasons to believe otherwise. It's come to me through experience that its a waste of time to argue about it.

If "God" was a female, Abrahamic religions would be a lot less gay.

Plus, the whole "God watches you masturbate" thing, would be mad erotic.

Co-sign the bolded.

A lot of gay shit in the Old Testament.

Involves circumcising every male in the household and having layers and layers of foreskins.

The Abrahamic God is indeed a faggot.

@ohhhla man who is that in your sig?

The ontological argument states that God is supremely perfect. Since menstruation is contrary to perfection God can't be a woman.

Than why is god masculine and goddess masculine? We need to get rid of both terms, but before patriarchal societies took a hold of most of the world, humans typically believed in a goddess as the highest order.

Goddesses were masculine?

Most goddesses were relegated to feminine things: the goddess of fidelity, and the goddess of fertility, and the goddesses of love and beauty.

Then look at the gods: The god of war, the god of the underworld, the god of death. Hell the Sea is personified as a woman and who rules the sea? A man.

Dominance, which is a primary attribute of an omnipotent being, has historically always been attributed to masculinity.

I meant feminine, I was typing fast. @elward

But, I know what you mean, but the egyptians had Ma'at as feminine and Ra, actually a lot of African nations always have a male god and a female goddess and they were equals or the female was a tad bit higher, but never the other way around until much later.

If we all are birthed by a female then what happened to as above so below?

 

[Mutah]

just depends on how you percieve it

Good question, that needs to be explored and historians, archeologists, and others want to look at this further. I have an idea may be dominance and control freaks. Like fashion designers are majority gay and yet they have dominated on how we perceive that super thin women are the best.

God is not male nor is god female

I thought god created men out of his own image?

Doesn't mean his image is a man. Man was made from Him.

"Man" is a general term in certain contexts. "Mankind" is a term that includes women.

When God made "man" in "his" own image it can mean God made males, it could also mean God made females in "his" own image. The sex of this image is not specified.

"Man" is merely a species of animal, it can literally be either sex.

Over-thinking, Man comes before Wo-man. God being the original represents Man and nothing comes before Him. Man (meaning Man and Woman) consist of spirits within them and God consists of the Father (Male before Female), The Son and the Holy Spirit therefore Man was made in His image because man has a spirit that comes from God.

You have no proof whatsoever that God is male or female, it could be either. As was mentioned "man" is a general term, and if you want to consider the society that translated the bible it could have been mistranslated on purpose.

God is neither though. Jesus is a man.

 

[BiblicalAtheist]

How do we know god isn't and its been a typo all along.

 

[Sour-Cream]

God would have to be a species to be considered a male or female. Nigga, God ain't a species.

 

[Ajackson17]

Goddess worship was for most of mankind was the norm than later down the line male worship. Also, god is masculine, so we need to stop saying god if you want to go down that route.
