Why God is not a girl...

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

To re-iterate my irst post in this thread, I think that the "He" is only a type of figurative language. It doesn't necessarily have to mean that God/Allah/YHWH is a male.

Why is mother nature a "she"? <- Same answer as above.

In the origins of YHWH in the Canaanite pantheon,and as the god of the Jews he has always been seen as a male...

Islam began in,and survives within patriarchal,tribal societies. It is unlikely that that their dominant God would be other than male,at least originally.


All religions are created by men,for men, and always reflect the contemporary values and prejudices of the societies which create them. Although religious books may or may not change,interpretations an emphases certainly do,and have in all of the Abrahamic religions.

The ones who seem to have changed the least are the extremist loons,such as Saudi Wahhabi, Jewish Hasidim,and Christian young earth creationist nutters.
