In reply to the discussion: I am not often asked the question of whether or not God is a woman or a man............ [View all]unblock
(52,227 posts)33. this is one of the most overtly bigoted posts i've seen in a long time.
consider the reverse:
"all the good in the world, only a man could create;
all the bad in the world, only a woman could create."
everyone would immediately recognize this as overtly sexist and rightly so.
i'm a hardcore feminist and allow quite a bit of slack for objections to male behavior and patriarchy and so on.
but this is simply unconstructive, unhelpful, hate.

The answer to your question is probably never: which makes me very sad.

And, a navel and nipples? If Genesis is correct, God must look like us.
