Is God He or She?
I don’t believe in any supreme being, but I find it strange that Christianity, Islam and a lot of other religions assume that God is male. Others do have famale deities, so it’s not universal.
It would be a real problem for some religions and especially sects in some, if God did appear and she was female. It would certainly cause a lot of embarrassment. But I suppose they wouldn’t believe her, as their God is male.
At least not believing in anything means, I won’t have that problem.

A great many Christians, myself included, do not assume that God is male. And many original translations of the Bible in fact use 3rd person to describe God.

Surely any god has to be male. A female wouldnt let innocent kids starve or drown them in tsunamis, Bastard!
