God is a homosexual. And a serial rapist to boot!
Offline ...So, I'm having a small discussion of a theological nature with a co-worker, and at sometime (after she's gone on about how 'undefinable' God is) I say,
"Well, geez. Why isn't God a 'Her', then? Why 'Him'? It seems odd than an entity otherwise devoid of understandable characteristics has a gender."
And then she says (...and I didn't even see this one coming. I swear!),
"Well, I feel Him in me. It's like that. Christians have felt Him in them, so we know He's a He. Jst like we know He loves us."
I started laughing a little bit. Then it built momentum, until it was all I could do to stay in my chair. This punk rock girl sitting at a nearby table, who must've been listening in, was laughing pretty hard too.
So, I'm ever so curious: that's how you know God's a Him? You've felt His mighty phallic presence within you? And that's how you know He loves you?

I think it's actually a requirement, either that or asexual. Certainly can't have any men lusting over any woman.

I just have to wonder... is that a topical cream made of godspoo and shredded bible pages, or a crumpled-page suppository?
Or do they just mean 'beat yourself over the head with a bible until you pass out! no more pain!'?

If god is a him, personally I would and do call god an "it" myself, it must be have an incredibly huge dick. I mean, why be omni-potent and all-knowing with a little bitty penis? The christian/judeo/muslim god is engendered as a "he" to justify the treatment of women as second class citizens. If god is a "he" invariably it shows the superiority of the male gender over the female. He and she are merely terms applied to biological organisms, especially human beings.
If I would've heard that myself I think I would wet myself lol. Maybe god's just a chick with a strap on?

When I was a child, I always imagined God being a big woman in the sky, with big opened arms. And she was made of ice or something, and she wore this long robe. If I recall correctly, she was an asian woman. God didn't look too bad.
I enjoy the responses many get here, they're quite funny.
Anyways in response to the original poster (as I'd like to be serious) I've heard that the ancient Jewish civilizations referred to HaShem (meaning "the name", a word referring to God) as feminine instead of masculine, but I've never seen hard evidence on this fact besides hearing about a book someone wrote on the matter. There are a few mentionings of God in a female context, for example calling God a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings, but mostly the Christian bible at least refers to God as a male.
Also, I'd wager that the young lady in question just had moments of clarity, and if she wants to contribute it to a holy presence who's to stop her if she's not becoming too deluded? I'll probably hear an argument over that last sentence heh.
That is a rather funny quote. :P If I were you though I would err on the side of caution when speaking of God in such a negative way; for a multitude of reasons.
Personally I don't believe God to be male nor female, nor a mixture of the two, but independent from gender. I am somewhat miffed by the taunting fashion you put forward though (no worries mate, in all honesty.) I would advise being more compassionate towards us fervent, zealous believers just out of the sake of kindness though. I'm with you all on challenging the slave mentality that organized religion puts forth, but using that kind of language for an individual's personal God (JAH in my case) just isn't thoughtful. I'm not trying to be too critical, but rather just giving a little advice.

...Oh? Do enlighten me. I've already denied the existence of the Holy Spirit, so Hell's a sure thing for me already.
What else does God have in store if I refer to Her using negative terms? Will I be terribly smitten? Because, believe you me, I am ever so frightened.

Oh no I wasn't talking only about God in that context. (And I don't believe you're going to hell [assuming it exists.]) I was talking more about how what you said can be perceived as hate by many and cause troubles in that regard. Many if not most people would react violently. Besides from that I'd consider it morally wrong to insult others in such a fashion... Too many problems in the world are caused by one group starting trouble, then trouble in the reaction by the other group. A nasty cycle going back and forth that I'm sure you've seen. I meant my comments mostly as respect for others.
Don't think I'm on a soap box or anything either, I'm just hoping that you won't insult anyone. Also, I can see the atheist movement making this mistake when trying to spread their wisdom, so don't think I'm calling you out. I see many/most of you here just want to stop the zealots and spread the notion of using your mind for ethics instead of a book that was written at a time when slavery was socially acceptable. Anyways, using nasty language for what most consider the holiest of things is going to hurt your personal and group agenda.
And just to re-emphasize what I said, I don't think anyone is going to hell just because they don't worship what is perceived to be invisible. No worries there mate.
I just think it is wise to err on the side of caution when dealing with something so remarkably delicate.
