God is Female

[psychoslice]

I cannot see god being male or female, what good would he or she be with reproductive organs, what use would they be ?.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Well, clearly, if we are created in the deity's image, then the deity must be mammalian, humanoid and gendered, just like we are...

...And must be a "he" because as we all know, females never create anything like by using tools or being artistic or scientific or anything...

 

[Skwim]

For one, it takes both female and male gametes for reproduction, even though the zygote and fetal development occur within the female, and second, why would a being worthy of being called a god be restricted to concepts of sexual reproduction when creating the universe and life?

One word: Parthenogenesis.

 

[Aštra’el]

Some would say that Tiamat created the gods. Tiamat... the primordial waters at the very beginning.... the primeval chaos before all the other generations of gods came into being.

But even Tiamat had Abzu.

Some would say that at some point after Order defeated Chaos, the one who brought Order was responsible for the creation of Man, be it Marduk or YHWH or whoever.

We know that God is Creator, yes? The One who brings forth life. Woman is the only species who can bring forth life, therefore woman is God. Men cannot bring forth life, so God cannot be male.

Any Deist might tell you that you're at least half right. Half right ain't bad.
Down here we call the controlling force for everything 'Mother Nature'. See? It's all old hat, and nuthin' new.
But don't forget, Mother Nature is a ruthless, ripping, tearing force....... so don't blame the blokes when you don't like the outcomes!
Mother Nature is a stooping falcon ripping the dove's heart out, it's a crocodile overturning a boat and eating somebody's child, it's war, it's carnage.... as well as a spring flower.
So if you want the title, take it, but don't try and hand it back to the blokes when you lose your nerve!

 

[Unveiled Artist]

I suggest calling deity He/She/It/Them, which you can say "Heshe't'em." In English at least, it combines the possible gender pronouns. Now say it smoothly, as one word, instead of separate syllabus. There you go!

Sounds Jewish. Interesting.

 

[The_Fisher_King]

Sounds Jewish. Interesting.

Kinda a bit like HaShem..

 

[Shadow Wolf]

One word: Parthenogenesis.

You're starting to sound like a believer.

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

To not be an "it," to be either male or female, would mean god either had a penis or a vagina and breasts..

Gender is social and grammatical, not anatomical.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Gender is social and grammatical, not anatomical.

Yeah, such as me, a chick who got stuck with weird parts and doing so-called "guy" things like playing guitar (and working on cars, but that came as a necessity). The guitar part I like, and enjoy, but the weird parts I could have done without.

Are you suggesting God might be transgender??

 

[freethinker44]

Somebody's mad already.

Create does not equal birth.

Well, historically, it was angry men who flipped the whole creation story and made God male, hence the answer to the popular question, "Did God create man or did man create God?" is "BOTH" because the men who changed history into mystery wanted control. They wanted to control women, children what they were taught, grew to believe and pass on to generations until the people of today think these false teachings are facgt.

An incorporeal being wouldn't have biological sex. The concepts of "trans" or "cis" don't exactly apply.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Are you suggesting God might be transgender??

If it is a being worthy of being called a god, I do not think such a being would be limited and constrained to our concepts of sex and gender. "Das," from German, would perhaps be the correct term as to infer a neuter status for a lack of better terms.

 

[Skwim]

Gender is social and grammatical, not anatomical.

So what? Nobody's talking about gender. Gender terms are usually centered on opposing conceptions of femininity and masculinity.

Thread title: "God is female." The compliment of female: male.

female
[fee-meyl]

noun
1. a person bearing two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei and normally having a vagina, a uterus and ovaries, and developing at puberty a relatively rounded body and enlarged breasts, and retaining a beardless face; a girl or woman.
2. an organism of the sex or sexual phase that normally produces egg cells.​

male
[meyl]

noun
1. a person bearing an X and Y chromosome pair in the cell nuclei and normally having a penis, scrotum, and testicles, and developing hair on the face at adolescence; a boy or man.
2. an organism of the sex or sexual phase that normally produces a sperm cell or male gamete.
​

And from Wikipedia

"A male (♂) organism is the physiological sex that produces sperm. Each spermatozoon can fuse with a larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization."

"Female (♀) is the sex of an organism, or a part of an organism, that produces non-mobile ova (egg cells)."​

Both words, female and male, denote organisms with distinct anatomical sexual differences. They are not the same as the terms feminine(ity) and masculine(ity) relating to gender.

We all know about birthing, but how does one begat?

 

[Madhuri]

If we're using our own biology to determine God's sex then I'm pretty sure it takes both the male and the female to create new life.

Peace be on you.
In Islam, God has no gender.
Quran:
[112:5] ‘And there is none like unto Him.’
Quran uses 'hu' and 'huwa' as pronoun for Allah, it is commonly translated as He, but it can be translated as 'it'.
Quran also use 'We' for One God for power or for God with system to show majesty.

I'm so sorry that you had terrible biological science teachers during your education. Not only did they fail to impart to you what a "species" is, they didn't explain reproduction to you, or that such things as sex only apply to biological organisms.

Biology is one of my favorite subjects, and I actually had a great education, not like today, where "education" just means "training." Pardon your own teachings, however, because "species" means "kind" or "sort" and to be clear, according to Merriam Webster, "a class of individuals having common attributes and designated by a common name" which is appropriate for Woman. To your opinion pertainingh to reproduction, apparently you are unaware that Women can conceive and give birth to healthy children without ever having sex with a male, and that's a fact. So go smack your biology teacher for both of us, hehehe....

I assume you're looking at Abrahamic

No, I wasn't looking at any religion, but I like your comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic.

You have any tangible proof of this...?

Let's make a deal. You give me tangible proof that "God" even exists, and I'll give you tangible proof that God is Female.

Can you quote your historic sources?

"Historical sources" have been tainted and tampered with to the extent that there is very little to no truth in what we are taught to believe. History is so twisted to this point in time that we have been taught to believe that white is black and black is white, blessed is cursed and cursed is blessed, right is wrong and wrong is right. The foremost historical source that has been falsified by man (male) is biblical scripture. The fact is that before the bible was thrown together to govern the masses, in more ancient times, it was women who ruled, women were the political and military leaders, women were the teachers, women were Elders of the Councils, women were the healers (doctors) in their communities, women were the warriors who masterminded victories won over enemies. The oldest carvings (statues) of a human being are of women. Do your own research.

I don't see why it matters.

So why did you even bother to post a reply if it doesn't matter to you?

I suggest calling deity He/She/It/Them,

Here I am not simply referring to "deity" which can mean a multitude of things. Here I am referring to God as Female Who is Creator of human life.

Heshe't'em was probably the name of a Kemetic deity of something or other.

Maybe the name you were reaching for was Ma'at-ka-Ra Hatshepsut?

Are you suggesting God might be transgender??

Absolutely not. Being transgender is a surgical process devised by mankind.

As if the topic "God is Female" might have many frowning, shaking their heads, bleeding from the nose, breathing fire, smoke coming from their ears, here's something interesting, that the women would appreciate and would make the men... more educated....

A lecture by Dr. Delbert Blair (BLACK WOMAN IS GOD (DOCUMENTARY)

I'm not black, but this is very interesting, isn't it?

Nobody's made here, right? Good....

Peace be on you. With all due respect, Islam is an offshoot religion from other religious beliefs, which religion(s) had been created by MEN so of course it would not be outright admitted by men of Islam or Christianity or Judaism that God is Female, in religious communities designed to male-dominated, giving men the appearance of being a superior species. Yes, Quintessence, I said, "Species."
