Welcome to Gaia! ::

I honestly think those are very simple and poorly thought examples.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it just doesn't make much sense.

Honestly what's so bad about menstruation or outward hanging genitals? It's so far the most efficient means in which we can exist. Does it seem right to question a creator's intentions for your construction or existance?
Because if they are so supreme it obviously has it's purpose.

And I think people could do with having some of the responsibilities that come with their bodies.

G-d does not have genders. we attribute aspects to G-d that we usually associate with a gender, such as praying to the femminie aspect of G-d when we are ill to plea to G-ds motherly tendinces. no, G-d cannot have a gender because this would mean that G-d was corperal (has a body) and If G-d has a body then G-d is confined by that body and no longer infinite. G-d is an incorperal entity. this is also why G-d cannot have an actual name because to name G-d would be to designate G-d or rather to seperate him fro existance and infinity. Jews call G-d by the way he interacts with us like if i am refered to by my teacher as "one who turns in assignments" as opposed to "Jonathan". Adonai (merciful G-d) Eloheinu (rightous judge) Elohim (G-d creator) and so forth. G-d tells the Jews that G-d does not have a corperal body. this is what humans and G-d have in common. a soul.

b'shalom.

Freud, Favazza, and several other respect psycholigists would most likely tell you that God is generally accepted as a male due to the fact that he serves a "Father" figure to us. This would in turn make Jesus the Son and The Holy Spirit possibly a mother-type figure. It depends on how you choose to view it. Freud's analysis of The Holy Spirit is quite entertaining.

Personally I do not believe in God, however, my speculation on this matter is that God would be ambiguous and indifferent in His/Her gender. The reason why I say this is that you almost never see, in a polytheistic religion, that is, a lack of female gods. It is generally in monotheistic religions that you find male Gods, however, in certain sects of Wicca they only accept and/ or believe in the female goddess of Wicca (Dianic Wicca I think it's called). The reason why I figure most religions have male gods that are monotheistic is because the God/ god is generally to be a father figure. A father figure in the sense that the times these religions were created in that the father was a symbol of power, control, guiding light, et cetera, et cetera. However, in recent years, this idea of the father being the only one who can represent these virtues is gradually changing.

Personally though, I wouldn't imagine a truly wise createor of religion would say whether the god is male or female unless they had something against the other gender. By naming the gender of the God(s) you are setting a stone rolling for sexism.

wow, sorry, please ignore the post above this post, as I had forgotten I had already put in a view point.

this is very subjective... so I will pull a George Carlin...

" I believe that if there is a god, that it is male. Because No female would ever F**k things up so badly" - Carlin
(prolly not quoted entirely correctly)

I agree... but then again... you are hitting the thing that riddles it with contradictions...
