...could He choose to be a woman? Is God a female? Shouldn't women be allowed into Catholic priesthood? They don't molest as many children as men do.

God is genderless, its just a cultural thing to refer to God as a he, but the bible never meant for this to be taken literally
i don't know why catholics dont allow women priests, but i have heard its because jesus was a male and had only male disciples
of course along this reasoning, jesus was not an american and had no american disciples, so americans should not be allowed into the priesthood either
and to be really literal, jesus was a jew and all his disciples were jewish, so only jews should be allowed into the catholic priesthood. which is just absurd.

What one second, to say women do not molest as many children as men do is not true. It is just not reported as much because the are feminist out there that do nothing but bash men.

I don't think god has anything to do with women not being allowed into preisthood. That rule was invented by idiotic men who thought the woman's place is in the kitchen!

'God presents Himself to us as a Father, because He is a Giver of life,and our protector,the traits He exhibits in His Word are of the masculine gender. God doesn't want to be a women.As far as women in the priesthood I would write the Pope in Rome.
