While God is often referred to using masc terms like "Father" and "He," there's times God is described with maternal imagery, like a mother comforting her child (Isaiah 66:13) Since God is spirit (John 4:24), divine nature isn’t inherently male or female but transcends human concepts of gender.
have you seen the state of the world...there is no way it's a woman...I'm an atheist...but don't mind being proven wrong...but I know there is no way a woman is to blame
Women were considered deities 11/10,000 years ago, and men were considered deities around 8/7,000 years ago. Moralistic gods around 5,000 and monotheistic male gods 4,000 years ago. Hinduism was around 4,000 years ago, and Judaism was around 3,500 years ago.
or could it be that the Bible was written in a gendered language in which everything, including tables (masculine), mountains (masculine) and lights (feminine) have gender?
The 1976 book, When God was a Woman delves into this question.
Makes you really question the organized religions that buried Matriarchy and the Goddess.

It's the way to challenge any faux religious terf on gender.... define your gods gender?. It ends their bigoted argument pretty quickly... well..unless they're a fuckwit.
The main one in the bible is a male minor field god that was dominated by some dudes in a chariot. That's why his followers need so many emotional support trucks.
Sometimes, I think John Lennon was right...God is a co concept by which we measure our pain. Personally I believe in God but I don't believe in being pushy about it. I just don't care about pushing my beliefs on others. Whatever the truth is, we will all know it together someday.
Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all.

Adam was originally both genders. The female gender was taken out him to form Eve. Therefore, God is both genders.
MAGA will be very dismayed to meet them.

Religion, properly so called, is ever an inward, nay, an
individual thing, for it has to do with nothing but the
conscience, which has now to be stirred up, now to be
soothed.
