in speech class today, we learned about people getting offended when someone would say something like "POLICE MAN OR FIREMAN OR BUSBOY, etc. and one other thing she mentioned was god. apparently, women were getting upset because the bible called god a man. so they are now changing some bibles to make the word "HE" (referring to god) to "HE/SHE". what do you think about that?

I would propose it to be 'S/he' rather than 'He/She'
Makes it quicker. :P But, Since god is this 'Real' character who can do anything or be anything, we can even consider 'him' Neither. What if he has no genetalia? Or is that just plain wrong in the religious world? |

In the beginning of time, God created Adam. If you read the bible, it says Adam was made in God's image:
Genesis 2:7 "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into is nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." For that very reason, is why people refer to God as a man. |

During junior deacon classes/training, an elder at my church told me and two other girls, when we asked about feminism in the Bible, that God is neither male for female.

That reminds me of something that happened when I was like, 3. I was talking to my friends at Preschool and I told them I think God is a girl, and some especially obnoxious child went to me and said: "I can't believe you think God is a girl! Of course God is a boy! Duh!" My friends told me that God could be male or female, and it doesn't matter. I don't think it matters. Then again, I'm Atheist, so I could care less. |

I was brought up thinking that God was a man, but it's definetly a possibility. Maybe I'm just closed minded not to have questioned this before...

^ for some reason i can't picture you saying "fosho".
as i stated before, he made a girl pregnant. even if it was just pointing to her and saying "HAVE MY BABY!", he had to contribute the right chrosomosomes and blahdeeblah to the baby for it to be born. he made adam out of himself. why would he have made adam first if he was a woman? it would have been eve first, then. |
