Sorry if there's a thread on this already but couldn't find one. Probably dusty anyways.

The majority of people believe God is a male but I have come to realize God is most likely a women...(Only a hypothesis). The reason I believe this is because God gave us life and women are the ones who bare children. God is loving and forgiving, has many emotions women are truly intouch with rather than guys. I don't know if my hypothesis is right maybe one day I will find out or not but I want to hear your opinion on this.
 
God must be a woman, one can smell her parfume everywhere arround Being, seducing human desire to more perfection.
 
Yes God could be a male and female...or anything. Hmmmm maybe God is just the world and universe around us. Or God is who we want him/her/it to be. God for you could be different for you than God is for me.... Just a thought.
 
I don't think that an eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent being, transcendent of space and time, would be constrained to the equivalent of a human gender. I can perhaps understand a polytheistic belief system with gendered deities, but something about the idea that there is only one god and that it belongs totally to one gender is very unappealling to me.

That's frowned upon around here.
 
in the words of sage francis: 'god isn't a woman, he's imaginary!'

to me a more interesting question than why god is a man is, why is god human? because we created Him in our image....

OP- this is totally off topic but really bugging me. typically the uses of 'x' around ones name signifies straight edge, but as you're on a drugs forum, it seems the use of 'x' around ones name has another meaning- what is it?

I was waiting for someone to ask about the x's...the day I made my account it wouldn't let me use stayfaded for some reason. So I was like whatever ill put some x's but nah I'm not drug free I just wish I could of just had stayfaded though...oh well.
 
God is neither male nor female.

This is certainly the belief of most Muslims, and dogmatically most Christians. I am not sure of the Jewish outlook, however polytheistic religions tend to have male and female renditions of their godhead (some have hermaphrodites (from the Greek god Ἑρμαφρόδιτος (child of Hermes and Aphrodite) who became androgynous on contact with water (??))

As an aside I had a colleague gain their PhD with the Thesis title being 'The Theology of Hermaphroditism' (unfortunately not available online)

My own view is that God trascends human sexual demarcation and is therefore sexless.

This.

God is neither. I personally think "God" is actually a simplification of the existence of the universe and the universal subconsciousness and all that good stuff. Sort of a dumbed-down version that's easier to explain to schoolchildren.

Assigning a sex or gender to something like "God" makes about as much sense as assigning a sex or gender to a star or a galaxy or the universe.
 
if there is a god, it is genderless.

personification of the concept is understandable, but also as retarded as magical thinking.

of course, when god becomes de-personified, the concept loses a lot of its importance and meaning...

(stop trying to pull the nail from his coffin OP :P)
 
I'm pretty sure the very definition of most theistic Gods (at least the judeo christian ones) precludes the possibility of constraint to a certain gender. or even the concept of "gender" in the first place.
 
Yeah, re-iterating what others have said, if there is a god, it is gender-less. God is supposed to be perfect in every way, shape and form (if God even has a shape/form..). Therefore, it makes the most sense for God to be of both genders (or genderless) as if God was of only a single gender, God wouldn't be perfect.
 
Of course, then we run into linguistic and epistemic problems relating to just how we apply the modifier "perfection" to God; how can we determine what is the most "perfect" level/state of a quality when it cannot be quantified? How about the application of binaries (hot/cold?)? Why do we even consider the containing of these traits to be perfection in the first place? Perhaps we can just deem it "infinity" but what the hell does that even mean when it comes to nonspatial attributes?

if i had to imagine god as a human gendered being, it would be most certainly be female. it doesn't make sense to me otherwise. women can give birth without men (right, Mary?) why couldn't an all powerful, omnipotent, all seeing all feeling all knowning being?

I could almost buy that ....but not quite...... to me the entire structure is a multiple of itself including us .....so somewhere in there, there exists opposites of sorts I mean without opposites there would be no motion ,,,hopefully you follow I'm waaaaay low on being capable of anything approaching logical expression
 
^Want some of what you've had please.

Your earlier idea about hermaphrodite deity fucking self and self-impregnating with creation actually resonates with me (really), I think I might start a religion around it.
 
haha natalie portman IS god

but for real
god is androgenus
and the earth is his womb haha
which is also a portal for life
just as the protective womb of a woman helps little tots become accustomed to the frequencies and fruits of its environment
then then enter through a black tunnel into life and escape it through a white tunnel of eternal light.
were all his embryos raging on his insides

okay, let's assume you're right, and god has a gender... why would he be one gender rather than the other?

i would extend your intoxicated reasoning, and, rather than saying "god must be yin or yang because the universe includes yin and yang", say "god must be something that supersedes both yin and yang"

of course, this assumes god exists. however, this is not the sort of universe a "prime mover" would make, imo.

yeah, the universe is a fractal, and demonstrates self-similarity in structure, from the shape of atoms to DNA to rivers to stars to groups of billions of galaxies.

imo that "structure" itself is part of another "multi-'structure'", which we can't really say much about. theoretically, scientifically, "branes & the bulk" is a model that i particularly like.

it posits that spacetime is a structure, within the "bulk"... and that other spacetimes exist, with varying laws/constants of nature and with varying numbers of dimensions (we appear to be in >10 dimensions of space, though our material bodies evolved to sense the 3 of those spatial dimensions that it did....well, due to the anthropic principle.)

anyway, the self-similarity that the universe displays is imo evidence pointing toward a "deity" of sorts... a "supreme consciousness"*. i don't buy it, but i see the possibility. however, in absolutely no way would it be a personified god. that's a fallacy we're making due to psychological reasons.

*if the same maths exist in norway's fjords as exist in our DNA and atoms, perhaps the same sort of qualia/consciousness that we experience at this level is experienced in another way, on another level. you could call this "god" if you want, but that'd be highly misleading.

there are two possibilities for the personal gods of traditional religions: they are psychosocial phenomena, or they were misinterpreted aliens. either way, god with a capital g is dead.
