I don't believe God is a "he" or a "she". If one believes the Creation Story, God created humanity in his own image. Adam was neither male nor female UNTIL the Eve part was removed. Then there were male and female.

I tend to believe the "language" theory too, though. I remember learning in Spanish class that a group of female friends are all amigas until ONE MALE is added. Then that group is referred to as amigos. I thought that was sexist until I found that almost all Romantic languages are that way. A culture thing. A male-dominated culture thing.

Does it matter?

While we're on the subject of debating whether or not god has any particular gender, I suppose I'll just say God is a smoking hot Asian Lady, I just don't find Morgan Freeman to be all that attractive.

I have often wondered at the paradox of Jesus needing to be born of a Virginal Mary to avoid "original sin".....

But that wasn't enough! MARY had to be born without "original sin" just to be able to BE the Holy Mother of Jesus.....

So if the miracle of Jesus was that he was born to a virginal woman, why wasnt Mary the Daughter of God and a savior to all sinners?

I smell a rat!

Isn't it obvious? God hates women... and people with dark skin, homosexuals, liberals, he basically just likes white men, and not the southern European darker off white, I mean pasty white, with bright blue eyes; I saw it in a picture once.
