most people do not use logic in the faith although some should really try it once in a while blind faith is still blind. I think you are right that IF God is the father there should be a mother who gets just as much attentions as he does. It really is each persons choice you either question yours and others belief, therefor growing as a person or you can just believe without questions or answers.

In Hinduism, God is both male and female. Brahman (God) is genderless. The male aspect of God is Vishnu, and the female aspet of God is Devi (Divine Mother). God is composed of many different types of energies and these forms whether male or female are based on the type of energy/aspect of God.
It is just like how we have different roles towards different people. Like for example, I may be a daughter to my mother, a sister to my sister, a co-worker to my boss, a lover to my partner, and a friend to a friend. I certainly am not going to act like a daughter to my partner, nor a sister to my boss. However just because we have these different aspects to ourselves does not mean that we are only that aspect as a whole. The same concept applies to God. Just because God is mostly seen as a male/father figure in most religions does not mean that God is that aspect as a whole. It is a matter of perspective. All perspectives of God are not wrong. They're just different ways of relating and connecting with God.
I prefer to connect with God through the Divine Mother aspect. I strongly identify with the feminine energies the most. It's what I need and feel the most love within myself when I relate with God this way.
Many Catholics connect with God via Mary as the Mother figure/aspect of God.
The Christian religion only thinks of God as Father, nothing more. Just because that is their belief does not mean it is the only way. There are innumerable paths towards God just like how a house has many entrances. One isn't better than another. God does not deny anyone that worships it regardless of how. One should follow what feels right in their heart with who they are rather than listen to what people say you should believe.

Yup. That's why some people say "Mother/Father God."
There are gender-inclusive ways of speaking of God.
Julian of Norwich did it, for example - she was a great anchorite of the......13th century, if memory serves.

Logic isn't everything. People these days pride themselves, thinking they are 'intelligent' but science and books don't open your mind.

Ok, sure. If we have to apply that principle, then I would probably lean towards identifying earth as "Mother." After all, as identified in the Book of Genesis, God formed man of dust from the earth, so therefore our substance was derived from the ground. Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return.

Some religions believe exactly that-- in a father God and mother Goddess. I think they're both opposite sides of the same coin, myself.

Technically no, why would god need a wife? He is god after all. Jesus was concieved by the holy spirit, not by a mother or father. Just through God.
I hope that helps, you should go read a bible.

You are trying to use logic in this matter? Not good. And not going to work.
