I would worry about the existence of such a god more than the trivial aspects of his label.

Before God made anything He was complete. He needed nothing to add to Himself. He created for one reason and one reason only, love.
Love—A Fruit of God's Spirit
Just as timely rain on an orchard contributes to a good harvest, God's spirit can produce in receptive individuals qualities that the Bible describes as "the fruitage of the spirit." (Galatians 5:22, 23) Foremost in this fruitage is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) But how do we obtain God's spirit? A vital way is through prayer. If we pray for God's spirit, he will give it to us. (Luke 11:9-13) Do you "keep on" praying for holy spirit? If you do, then its precious fruitage, including love, should become ever more manifest in your life.

Because God is our creator and sent his seed (Jesus) unto Mary to be the mother.
He also created Adam and Eve without whom we wouldn't be here.
Also in the Bible God is referred to as "Our Father"

I like to think of God as my Father because He is very much a father-figure. He takes care of me, watches out for me, and challenges me to grow.
since I don't have a dad to go to, I turn to Him.

Because he created us. He's not human so there is no reproduction as humans know it.
The Bible says to call no one your Father except the One True God.

There are a lot of people who call somebody other than the person who is their paternal father "dad or "father".

Because he created us and the Bible says so.
P.S. the Bible also says we shouldn't call anyone but our biological father and God the Father "Father" for all you Catholics.

It's God's way of telling you that you are family. Since He refers to himself as Father, He is explaining to you that you are the apple of His eye!:)

Mat 23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

translation problems my friends.
whoever translated the Bible into Greek, used limited words that only exist in Greek. and for the verses he couldn't understand or translate then that person who translated the Bible has put his own believe and own opinion on it. which as a result the corruption of the Bible occurred.
