This came up in another post by Tsuyoiko. If you believe in God, does it have a gender? In early religions and myths the Gods were female and male. In most cases the leader of the Gods was a male, although a few creation myths have the creator as either a female or a couple creating the world. Early figurines found by archeaolgist are invarible female in form, which might show that stone age man might have believed in a creator as female, after all life for most higher animals comes from females. Because, unfortuanately for you women, society is dominated by men. It would stand to reason that the chief God would be a man. As society progressed God started to be seen as neither gender. Muslims might use the word he for Allah, but it is seen as niether. Yet in the other abrahamic religions Gods is invarible seen as male. Probably down to the passage with says "God created man in his own image". An argument that has been used on many an occassion but the religious right. Nowadays, with our PC world, God now exists as female, both or non. So what is god or gods to you?
