This is a no-brainer. Gender is needed when it comes to reproduction via sex. Polytheism makes a little more sense, since both genders are represented and they according to legend did have offspring, but to be a single entity and be male just doesn't make any sense. The history of those that wrote the bible is know, of course it's about promoting patriarchy. The bible was written by men, for men. Where's the discussion in this, really?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
