Why not choose some woman and make her a matriarch and Mother of many nations?

I have my own thoughts about it, but I got a date (and they hate when I come late)
Ya got that ass backwards. Abe chose a god.
I think women tend to be less self delusional.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Because most religions, the Abrahamic ones in particular, were created by men for the benefit of men.
You still frequently hear it from the morons regarding how “inferior” women are.

Um no, all of antiquity was patriarchal ultimately. Some were simply less dickish.
I have yet to find one religion in antiquity where the HEAD GOD, was female. Plenty of polytheism had female deities sure, but all the ones I have found so far, the vast majority even with female deities still have a male top god.
Again, even with Buddhism's mythology, sure they talk about Queen Maya, but what is she used for? Her womb only. Even in that mythology the birth canal is avoided and considered dirty, and his mythology has him being born out of her side. And what for? Not so he could glorify her, but so he could glorify himself as the cure to humanity's ills.

Not entirely on-topic..but there was a matriarchal pagan society in europe, at a point (so far as we can tell). They amassed one of the most impressive collections of hillforts and weapon caches in existence at the time. It wouldn't be surprising to find a female god at the head of their pantheon for the same reason that it isn't surprising to find a male god at the head of a patriarchal society.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I had a nice date of sorts with my female friend (the one I mentioned in the OP).
Well, last Friday I asked my female friend if she would go with me to visit my friend and his girlfriend.
The answer was yes. Then I met her in the club in the evening, asked if she is ready to go and she said it would not be possible because she and her girlfriend were going to meet some female friends of theirs.
Now, if I was God, I would certainly choose a man to make him Father of many nations... We are more reliable.
I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens.

I guess God couldn't find any fictional females at the time.
