What if God is a woman? Do you think any of the 'believers' would still pray to her? Or would they claim that she is an imposter?

Originally, most gods were women and most societies were matriarchal.

I think most "believers" would think her an imposter.

You are correct, originally most 'Gods' were Women. And unfortunately I agree, I think most "believers" today would think her an imposter..😟

When I meet God
I'm going to ask her
What makes her cry
What makes her laugh
Is she just stars and indigo gas
Does she know why
Love has no end
But it's dark-angel friend
Tearing women and men
Slowly apart

Marillion, "When I Meet God", from the album, Anoraknophobia.

A fiction by any other gender still smells as rank.

A slight divergence from the topic but a great song "What if god smoked cannabis" on youtube.

They would cry foul, for sure.

What do you mean if?

I mean, if a 'God' does exist..what if it's a Woman? 😉

The problem with equating God and religion with 'your God and your religion' (yes i know you no longer believe but paradoxically you no longer believe in 'your God and your religion'; and then all others by default) is that you are unconcious to a vast realm of religious teachings/belief systems long before Christainity and other modern religions were founded. Many early religions believed that the goddess literally gave birth to the world.

Like Kali, Aretemus, Aphrodite, Sophia, Frigga, that kind of God?

I prefer Athena myself..but that's just my opinion.

My point being people have taken female deities seriously, Athena, or many others too. Druids certainly have a thing about the bowl and the knife, not just the knife 😉

What makes you think it wasn't female Before men took control of civilization?

That is exactly why I asked the question..I DO think it was a woman before insecure men took over religion. I personally don't think it is just one God but if they do exist it is multiple Gods. Even in the Bible it says "Let us make 'man' in our image..our likeness.", "And so God created them, Man and Woman he created them.." And then about a page and a half later it says "One day Adam was walking alone in the Garden of Eden and God said to himself "He should have a mate...Obviously some editing of the 'story' was happening.

@Sharkscott good thing there aren't Any gaaawds.

There is no god.

Only Zul?!

God is a black lesbian and she’s mad as Hell ?. Seriously, God has to be male to continue the concept that women are subservient to men. Having a female god would screw up the whole male dominance hierarchy of our society. Whatever I don’t think it would make any difference. Regardless of the gender of the god, it’s all BS

Yes. This would ensure the hope of someone to make sandwiches in the afterlife.

Or get me a beer out of the 'fridge...lol...oooh I am sooo f**ked now!

I don't care - still make believe.

It doesn't matter. No gods exist, male or female.

Nope. That’d be as damaging as saying God was Black. Modern religion doesn’t tolerate any deviance. God is an attractive Italian guy from Iraq. Don’t ever say otherwise.
