G-d is fond of choosing the most unlikely instruments for his most glorious vessels of grace.
Besides, with G-d creating humans out of mud and bone, no need for a bloke to produce a Messiah.
Okay, perhaps he's not destined to be the Messiah, but maybe he will still be instrumental in doing what the Messiah would want. That would be my vision for the son of so religious a mother.
Oh and, I think every genius has a bit of Abraham's blood in their veins.
Keep being your own person. G-d will satisfy eventually, even if he doesn't have my plans in mind.
He's the inventor of blokes, uproots entire nations for chosen blokes, creates light, planets, and stars by his words, and all galaxies are his to do with as he pleases. He was never born and will never die, and knows everything. He sounds a heckuva lot better than all blokes combined.
He might be keeping them away so that they don't distract you from him.
