If God was a WOMAN... what things would be different today?

Question

How do I know he's a "HE"?

Ok well easy enough... If youre a christian then you would know that you refer to him as "The Father" and correct me if Im wrong but arent all fathers male?

LOL, ok some of you LADIES here arent really answering my question... instead of insisting that she already is a female... les assume for a moment that she is a MAN and if she werent a man.. what things would be different in our world today.


Thank you... ladies.

Answer 1

I don't think Gd has a gender. If you want to think of Gd as male/masculine or feminine/female that's fine but I think Gd as soemthing bigger than gender.

Answer 2

Assuming there is a personified divine force, why do you automatically assume it's unigendered and masculine?

In prepatriarchal societies, there were often many gods and goddesses, sometimes as few as just two per tribe. Native American cultures come immediately to mind, but if you look at the myths of Demeter and Ariadne, one can assume that Medeterranian cultures also had relative balance of feminine and masculine deific influence.

When the masculine and feminine are in balance, experience is different. Divinity is no longer just "out there" or some strange overseer in the sky, but also in the earth we walk on and inside our own bodies. If male and female bodies are seen as made equally in the image of the divine, the subjugation of one sex and/or gender as a whole by the other sex/gender as an institution becomes heretic and inexcusable. If nature is seen as something to work with, rather than against, humankind's whole perception of how to get what we want and need from our planet changes.

In short, unigender = not so good, in my opinion. A gender-balanced deity, possibly represented by (at least) one figure of each gender, seems much more practical.

Answer 3

EVERYONE would be unisex to help get rid of the power struggles, and people would have all have a child later in life automatically, much the way cockroaches do. It would be practically painless, there would be no periods. People would not victimize each other, there'd be good paying jobs with bosses who know what they're doing.... lol I am just joking and having fun with this question...

Answer 4

God was a woman 7,000 years ago until those roughnecks came down from the Black Sea and spoiled it all. It was very much better then - who do you think Adam and Eve were? They were banished from a garden by a male God.

Answer 5

The Universe has no gender.

Thank God I'm not a Christian.

Answer 6

If there were a god, and she were a woman, I don't think it would make a difference. Patriarchy has existed for 8,000 to 9,000 years. Society would assume she's male anyway.

By the way, if there is a god, how do you know she's not a woman?

Answer 7

I know for sure that a lot of things (including that) would taste like chocolate!

Answer 8

If I believed in God, I doubt I'd assign a gender to it.

Answer 9

God doesn't have gender.

But it is the ridiculous idea that God is as small-minded as man that has gotten us into all the religious hypocrisy and conflicts that we have today.

Answer 10

God is everything. Man and woman. We were all made in His imagine. For us to be able to comprehend it all He simplified it by choosing a gender to keep throughout all of the Bible. I don't think if He would've choosen to be refered to as a She the it would make any difference as He is still the same.

A rose by any other name is still a rose...
