Is He, human, creation? therefore just another almost perfect man?

We are all created in God's image -- not the other way around. That should answer most of your questions. God gave us sex organs so we can reproduce. In order to insure the propagation of the human race, he made sex pleasurable. However, most humans abuse that privilege. God is perfect. Unfortunately, some of his creations are not.

Prior to recent writings all non gender icons had either masculine or feminine notations. Most of the things like God and powerful items or figures were assigned masculine reference. They did not put he/she or her/him it would have been a waste of time and resources. It is only seen in recent writings that this kind of language was used. Just because they use a masculine reference does not mean that the thing has balls it only means that it has masculine traits and prior to this time period anything with any power was assigned as a masculine item. Right or wrong it was a mans world. Also since the Bible says that God created Adam in his own image then created a mate Eve it was assumed he was masculine. He also chose to have a women carry his seed all pointing to a masculine entity. Again this does not mean he has balls or male hormones. Most people assume that there was no sex involved, no penis and that it was Divine conception. We do not know what form God would take and presumable he could take any form he wanted to. If you are talking about the Christian God. Greek and Roman Gods as well as Celtic Goddesses have a more defined sexuality?

I think I understand your question?
Western religion evolved out of Paganism, where the Gods were seen as very similar to human beings -- just more powerful and immortal. So they have human emotions, genders, etc. Yahweh, at some point, because the "only" God in some kind of Yahweh/Jehovah/El merger. And the True God acquired all the personalities of those Gods.
Eventually, theology amended that to a more abstract God. As they say, theologians don't believe in an old man with a beard anymore.

I don't understand this either. If God is specifically a man, then by definition that must mean he has a penis, right? And why does God need a penis? He's not going to reproduce as human's do. And who would he have sex with, if he's the only God? for that matter, if man was made in God's image, then that implies he has other human attributes, like ears, a nose, and eyes. Why does God need these things? if he's all powerful, why does he need these earthly things to help him experience the world?

It's just a fact of nature the Maculin is always dominant. Thats why we are referred to as mankind. take the term "Forfathers". In a femminist book i read a woman used to therm Formothers. In paganism the main god is a woman. It's all a matter of opinion. To me god is everything in the universe male or female, but when i refer to god i will use the word him simply because it's easy and i don't care what people think.

You have a very uninformed view of Christian beliefs. Try reading the Bible, it would be a good place to start. However has been indoctrinating you is a liar.
