So how do we know god is a dude?

Never figured it out :o

Simple, we don't.

Early patriarchal societies just assumed as such... since in those days, women were not people and merely objects created for men's pleasure and bearing children. Realistically, "God" in the proper sense, would be genderless.

Because the word means the male version of a deity. Otherwise it'd be goddess.

He has to be a guy or else he couldn't knock up Mary! Sure God can hypothetically do anything, but - wait a minute...

Probably a tranny unless he has a wifey.

Do we care... i dont

I'm pretty sure god is black.Enuff said

God was quite adamant about not touching the junk in the Old Testament. I wouldn't expect a woman to understand that.

You cared enough to willingly enter a thread and post in it. That makes as much sense as entering a bakery and complaining about the strong smell of bread.

Until English gets a gender-neutral third-person pronoun that is not taken to refer solely to inanimate objects - something I would celebrate and applaud - there really isn't a better way to refer to him. :P

Because I am. :o

It could be both.

God could only be Female......only a woman could create such a conviluted book and expect everyone to know exaclty what she was talking about....Omni-Slash

we dont KNOW anything about god

here's my immediate thought: if adam was the first person created in god's image, then God must have a male persona. eve was created later from adam, so therefore i conclude that god is male.

owned.

He's obsessed with sex and the sexual activities of his creations.Locke562

I bet god is awesome in bed... Do you think he is single?

I presume you also take God to be a corporeal, physical being with height, weight, and so on?

i doubt it

Referring to an intelligent being as "it" does not exactly seem appropriate.

He made man in his image. I hope I'm not really a woman. :o

I know, this is starting to get overused by me, but seriously I read the bible. God is a male, one passage they said "he blah blah blah" they described god as he, and well jesus is god, and jesus was a MAN!

Why would God have a gender in the first place?
