Can you imagine how much better this world would be if your savior wore silk panties?
Seriously though, how come most major religion's hero is a dude? Even the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a Him. I want to see some sexual equality amongst these gods from now on.
(Note to FSM ... please forgive me for doubting your noodly sexual authority. RAmen.)

As a male, and an atheist, I have to say....
IF there were a creator, I would have to assign it a feminine gender... they are the most loving... the most forgiving... and the most tolerant...

Well lets go back to the book of Genesis. Satan entered the world illegally. He was cast out of heaven.
Genesis 1:26 said he gave dominion to man. Satan met Eve in the garden while Adam was present and he tricked her but Adam wasn't deceived. When he ate of the fruit he allowed his eyes to be open to both good and evil. He cut off his relationship with God and began a slow death. Before the fall of Adam the first son time had no reference because there was none.
But for Jesus to come into the earth he had to do it legally. In order to do that he had to come through a woman. We as women are more emotional, some are not but it is usually our MO.

One reason is that if Jesus had been female, some would have said it could have been a result of spontaneous regeneration. It is possible in some animals for a offspring to result without a male and it could be thought possible with humans but the results would have to be female if it did happen since the male gives the Y chromosome to produce a son.
Since Mary was a virgin and produced a son, it shows that this son was in fact...the Son of GOD.
Rather then be concerned with this however, I would suggest making sure you are a child of God. Read the link below.

Well, now that you mention it...
There's the Morrighan, who was a battle goddess in Ireland. She would scare the poop outta you men.
Kali Ma of India. Goddess of death and rebirth. "I brought you into this world and I can take you out!"
Hera, Greek, wife of Zeus. Patronness of marriage and family.
Isis/Astarte/Ishtar: moon goddesses with consorts.
Shall I go on?

It was important for him to be male because God knew that the child would have to have an impact on society. Society at that time did not give much respect to women. Had God sent his only begotten daughter, no one would have listened to her and we would all still be Jewish instead of Christian.

God took the time to make you you. He wanted someone with all your characters to give Him pleasure. And here you go and mock Him with this stupid question of yours.
God will not be mocked. I would not like to be standing in your shoes right now. God's punishment won't wait for the end for He says He will bring swift punishment to those the mock Him in this life not the next.
Think about what I have written and then get down on your knees and ask for forgiveness..,.

female authority figures only work if it's the right kind of chick. Usually they get too cranky because they have to deal with a world full of men every day.

He didn't need to. Jesus did all that was necessary. Now, time to take your teddy or Elmo and go to bed.
