Woman concieved man. Man concieved god. God comes from woman- so she's a Goddess.

If a man thinks the way you described, he isn't worth the effort to turn your head to look at him.\n\nWomen need to feel free to accept their bodies without shame or being put into catagories.\n\nThrough out history, the female frame has been venerated in all its forms, from rounded hips and belly to boyish sticks. In my opinion, if man was created in the image of God then by golly, WOMAN was created in the image of Goddess. You are a perfect female, no matter what you look like.

God though in reality has no sex prefers to refer himself as a He.\nAs God is spiritual and has no material body he requires no gender but the male gender take on the greater responsibility as they are given that role. God being the highest so God describes himself  with male attributes. Women are to be treated with great respect and dignity. The husbands though taking headship of the household treats his wife like he would himself. He respects his wife's opinions and being in marriage a husband and wife become one flesh. What a remarkable arrangement.\nThere is no sexism in heaven that is a worldy problem because people refuse to obey God so bring great pains to themselves.

Yes, God is God no matter what you call him (or her) or how you choose to worship.\nI wish everyone understood this!

I think it's because it was mostly men who were in control of  nearly everything in the past. It was men who worked, voted, drove, and etc. I'm sure that when "God" was first acknowledged or came into existence, it was probably men who preached and wrote about "God" and they could only relate to a "God" that mirrored them in some manner. And because women were once considered weak, how could someone or something as powerful as"God" be female? \n\nI also agree with what you said about language constraints.

The fact that you posted your question in "Mythology and Folklore" shows that you realize that God is a Myth.  He looks like whatever you imagine him to be.  The primitives who wrote the Bible described him as they IMAGINED him to be.  As did the Aztecs, Mayans, Ancient Egyptians and the tribes of New Guinea.  God or Gods look like the followers imagine or wish him to be.  HE can even be a woman if that is what you wish.

I agree with your statement.\n\nHow can women follow a religion that treats them like objects, servants and unequals.. for those that don't believe, check out these bible quotes -\n\nhttp://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/bible_female.html

Definately.  God is a very personal thing, different for everyone.

I often feel as you do. Confused and hurt, by a God who was supposed to be there for me. I also agree with you that the bible is no more relevant than greek mythology, or even the eastern relgions. I still conteplate the existence of a God period, yet the fact that all these religions exist, might lead us to a God.

Not at all. I used to feel wierd about it, but then I met one of my pastors who is a woman. She's also a close personal friend of mine and she inspires me alot. As it is I do teach, but I would love to one day preach God's word. It would be awesome!

Yes its possible. God is everywhere - all around us - God is life - when a person values life - the people around him, and gets in touch with his inner self... then he has fallen in love with god. I think the perfect example is mother theresa.

I believe that the source of all creation is a pantheon of gods of male, female, androgyny and sexless genders. The first creation story in the Bible (Genesis 1-2:4) calls this "Elohim" (in original Hebrew), a plural noun referring to both the male and female gender.\n\nI don't live by the Bible, as I am by no means Jewish or Christian, but I do like that it backs up my theory.\n\nI believe They all created the universe as well as the first forms of life by means of physics, evolution, and other scientific methodologies. This is my own personalized theory of theistic evolution, and you can learn more about the most common forms of it here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_world2.htm

I think that God is both. I think that he is a man and a woman. He made people in his image. If we are all made from his image  - though some may argue that Adam was made in his image and Eve from Adam ( Eve taken from Adam would also be in God's image...follow the thought process) - then he would have to be a higher being. One of both genders, separating them into two for the purpose of carrying on the human race. Now, as to why I referred to God as a He, it is simply proper grammar, and easier - and more correct - than he/she.
