I was just curious, if you have your birthday on Christmas Day (or very close to it) do you still get birthday presents? Or do you just get Christmas presents?

Why is that?
I've been browsing through questions and answers more, then actually asking or questioning and saw quite sad thing - people are quick to insult, joke about other's problems then actually try to help. I have posted few silly answers myself, just to see how people react (thumb up or down, or nothing). Guess what? the shallower my answer was - the more thumbs up I got. Of course, I want to thank people who gave serious answers to my questions, but they were not so many. When I posted a silly question only to test it, - I got so many more answers to that! - mostly silly answers of course (as silly as the question was). Yea, I know you get what you are asking for, but why so many people are ready just to get silly than serious? Did you see some of the profound long answers to your questions? These are the people who really take time and put their heart into wanting to help. Why don't we try to be more real people?

Do you think of God as male?

If yes...why would God have a sex? Because since several of the major religions are monotheistic 'He' would never have a partner to reproduce with. And if he is omnipotent he wouldn't need a parter anyway, since he could reproduce asexually. Perhaps we attribute maleness to 'Him' because Jesus is said to be borne of Mary and it typically takes a male and female to reproduce? (Incidentally if God is omnipotent, can he create other gods?)

If not... why do we refer to 'Him' as such? Is it just that many societies tend to be patriarchal and since God is an authority figure people simply injected masculinity into their impressions of Him? Is it a failure of our language that we have to refer to God in terms of male or female? (Do other languages use androgynous terms for God?)

These were just some thoughts that popped into my head this morning and I wondered what other people would thought.

Thanks

It's been quite a few months ago, but the last I heard they were on trial and facing the death penalty.
