I don't really believe in God much, but if He is real, I'm pretty sure He'd be a man.

HOWDY!!! Darth,

I don't know where you heard that but check John 3:16 out and that will clear the air for you.

God kicked Satan out of Heaven along with 1/3 of the angles in Heaven. Since there are angles then some of the angles must be women there also. I think God was talking about making Man in our own image God must of have been talking to Men. Even in the Bible refers to and this is not a quote but that Man is the one to be in charge. Sorry I don't remember just what book of The Bible, but it is there.

Once again check out John 3:16 it will clear the air. That is if you believe in God.

STAY SAFE!!!

Well putting aside the obvious question, which is does God exist at all?

I'd have to say that anyone who believes "God" to be any kind of anthropomorphic being is crazy. I'm personally an Agnostic so I think anyone or any religion who thinks they have God figured out is kidding themselves. When it comes right down to it the human mind and the human experience is completely and utterly incapable of ever grasping or understanding what "God" is.

The problem is religion. I don't think "god" or the belief in "god" is bad, but I think that religion has been one of mankinds most terrible inventions.

The first quesion I would have to ask you is ,why would you think God had a sex? Next I would have to ask why God would have to be a male? It would seem to me that you have implied that a entity has to be male to be the top most respected, and that having God be a woman would make God less respectable. That would imply that you do not respect females, as much as you do men. Imagine yourself around a person who had decide not to respect you and you had not even met them. Wouldn't such a prejidice atittude make you hate that person and want to cut them down and put them in their place? Hate and disrect breeds the same.

God is a source of energy and power, it is simple and pure. It has no end and no beginning. It shares no wrath nor any sympathies. It does not show emotion like so many humans would lead us to believe. Emotion is a human feeling. Emotion causes us to be blinded by feelings. Right and wrong are the two things we need only to consider.

That's because society tends to have a Patriarchal view on everything. That means that men are thought to be more important than women. You know - "Mankind", "Be a man", "Its a man's job". We view men as more important, especially back in the ancient times when people were making up religions. A Goddess is just as probable, but we've been conditioned into thinking a spiritual figure must always be a man.

God as a woman began long before man began to write. Women were seen as the creatrix of all things, as they could bleed without dying or being wounded. The Venus of Willendorf, a Oolitic limestone figurine, c. 24,000-22,000 BCE, depicts a female figure with ponderous breasts, a large belly looking like a pregnant woman.

I do believe in God because I am christian and supposedly, He can be what ever you want him to be or think of him as I guess as long as it represents good. And I don't really think he has an official sex. If believing that He is really a She its fine because I'm an open minded person. Duces.

God is real and is genderless. It is not consistent with the greatness of God to assign a mere human gender to Him. I say Him because it's linguistically correct to refer to a unique, existing, non-object in the masculine form.

Actually God is a genderless God. When He created man in His own image, it actually meant mankind. The reason that we call Him Father, He and Him was because Adam came before Eve. If it had been the other way around, we would be calling God Mother and She and Her.
