God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability
RE: God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

So your god is an energy source? Can we harvest it to power our homes? What other example is there for a complex pattern of energy to persist without the use of matter? None. Therefore special pleading. Or you are saying that your god is neither energy nor matter? In which case how does your god interact with the world without energy? And again it's special pleading because you would be making up a entirely new form of ... 'stuff' that has never once been observed and has no plausible way of existing.

 You probably have a feminist agenda against God referring to himself as male

Right so your god isn't actually male you are just imagining it as such. Your justification for calling your god as male can just as much be used to referring to it as female. It's not like your god has a penis, or reproductive organs to use with other goddesses, or has expressed any form of gender identity in your holy babblings.

And if your god is too complex for you to fully understand as a human, because be honest here, how could you fully understand something that is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent as a mere animal? Then referring to it as male is just a useful handle on the concept. So why not pick a female handle if it's just as valid and some people would prefer it?

The fact that your religion forbids this is further evidence that it is a human made form of social control.

Yet you have no way of determining whether you actually experienced your god or you imagined it. Hence the reason that you claim that you need faith first, because otherwise the 'evidence' outside the bible won't come. It is indistinguishable from a confidence trick.
