God is commonly referred to in the masculine sense because of the relationship that primarily judaism based religions wished to portray between god and mankind. God the Father, because at the time all the ancient religious texts for these religions were written a family was dominated by the father and rather than using the metaphor of the mother, which would imply at the time that there was some other superior to the God figure, they used a masculine term. This term has persisted due to a continuation of male dominance in society and through the institution of tradition which is now so ancient that many believe it would be heresy to alter it today. It is true that the relationship that many today share with god is much better described as female, but this too stems from the feminization of 'soft' concepts such as love and procreation. Consequently calling God male or female is 100% related to culture and I would like to answer your question with a question. Why try to personify god as male or female? If you follow western society's modern beleif that male and female are equal, or the more radical belief that there is no definite male or female but shades of gender (see transgender), and if gender serves the sole function of procreation through sexual intercourse why attempt to place the all powerful being that is God within the restraints of a single gender. God does not need to procreate through sexuality as God is capable of creation without thought or effort. So, why call God she? Why not just understand that God is God regardless of name or gender.

I think there is only one God.  Men have called Him many things; God, Jehovah, Great Spirit, Allah... the list is quite lengthy.  I doubt that He really cares what you call Him, as long as you do call.

Some people believe God is a woman. Some people believe that God is both male and female. Some people believe that God is neither male nor female. And some people believe that God is male, female, both AND neither all at the same time.\n\nThere's also people that call female god "Goddess". There's people that believe in many Gods and/or many Goddesses.\n\nBasically, if someone could think up of a religious concept, whatever it may be, there's probably someone out there that believes in it.

While I can't answer the question, I will join you in your bafflement.  If you changed the word 'God' or 'Deity' into any other thing/being for whose existence we have no evidence - we would regard the person as being totally insane.\n\nImagine:  'I have a close personal relationship with the fairies at the bottom of my garden' or '... with the man in the moon.'\n\nWhat also baffles me is that we can - in the 21st Century - treat such statements as indicative of 'normal' people if it's about God but not if it's about fairies.  Surely, both are just as loopy?

No, you're correct. Many believers can't seem to grasp this simple concept.\n\nIn the following argument (which is the same as yours, just more in depth) the author does not assign god a gender, therefor god is referred to as "it", instead of "he" or "she".\n\n"The problem here is that God knows everything that has happened and everything that will happen. Its knowledge cannot be wrong. There is not a single event that it has not foresaw. Given that it created the Universe the way it did, do we have free will? Consider that when God made the Universe it could see every possible result of what it was doing. Which means: it could not create something without knowing what the results would be, and without knowing how it would be affected (and effect) the things around it.\n\nLet's say that Fred has a choice that will save his life, to accept God or not to accept God and the final choice is to be made tomorrow. God knows already what choice he will make - God cannot be wrong therefore Fred cannot choose otherwise to what God has predicted. When God created the chain of events that made Fred it also knew that it was making Fred's choice for him, and knew how the various circumstances and character would make him choose either right or wrong. Fred would go forth and make that very decision that God knew he would make, and by virtue that God knowingly set up all the factors that affected his decision, it was not up to Fred but to God to decide how Fred would fare.\n\nThis argument does not imply that God does not exist. It leaves us with three results, two of which have to be wrong.\n\n   1. God created everything with full knowledge and we have no free will to change it\n   2. God does not have full knowledge\n   3. God did not make the Universe or there is no God"\n\n - Written by Vexen Crabtree

God is a man-made construct. Only through our arrogance would we perceive an all-powerful being to look like us.\n\nIf all religion ceased tomorrow and god was proven not to exist, the world would keep turning.

Science is a concept use by this level of mankind, which is proven fact and experimental basis. Many unexplained phenomena or ( the future science which not yet proven ), scientist will push it into the category of mythology, religion sort of thing. Religion is not created by man, is from another civilization of other time space and only few scientist understand that, as different religion is from  different civilization in space time. And we our soul is origin from that part of time and space. To earth is to purify our energy then we can up to higher level else will reborn here over again.

I will put it this way...  mankind is mankind, but God is God; we forget easily yet God reminds us.\n\nPeace to you.

The Bible says God is neither man nor woman ......but is spirit.

God is male and female, alpha and omega, beginning and end. \n\nThe reason He is refered to as He is that his just/righteous side is dominate over His mercy/love side.

There is only one God, but he/she is called by different names depending on who's doing the calling. Like my kids call me mom, their friends call me Mrs. ******, my coworkers call me ***, some of my friends call me *********, but I'm still the same person.

I think it is an excellent theory.  While many different religions may call their god (and goddess) by different names, I think in the end we are all worshipping the same god.  We all just have different ways of worship.  God/dess is not confused - the Divine knows we are speaking to it and loves us all the same.

its God, but God entrusted to us this world, we are His stewards, managing His creatures. But sad to say that we are destroying our mother earth, and so we are reaping of what we have done to our nature and some people still blaming God for doing it so...we should make a way to preserve and conserve our nature for the next generation.

Man's greatest need is this: A deep, close, and personal relationship with God.\nWhy do I say this?: (First of all before I qualify my answer I believe by the word "man" in your question you are not referring to gender but rather the human species - which includes both male and female.)\nGod created man to have a personal relationship with Him, and for man to depend on Him for everything He needs in this life. \nSo without God man is hopeless, and eternally lost.

Being that nature has two sides, male and female.  And the joining of the two is the creation of Nature.  It only makes sense that our spiritual well beings are based on sex.  It also represents a third of our brain.

God exists in many forms so he may come to Earth with as many bodies and personalities as he chooses. Like the avatars of Lord Vishnu, Krishna included.
