Why is God always talked about in such patriarchal terms?

It is clear God is a female. A male could never have given birth to the Universe.

if you look at how god acts he's very much like a stern father who doesn't like you talking shit to him

He doesn't acts anymore. If he is stern father he is completely apathetic to our lives now and doesn't care.

Maybe he wants his son to stop being a cave NEET.

there are two main deities, the great moon goddess and the great horned one, female and male respectively.

Yahweh is explicitly a male deity. He even has (had) multiple wives and consorts.

He didn't give birth to the universe, he built it. Something females are incapable of doing.

God is a singular entity with the powers of both sexes, creation and change.

Jesus was gay with the naked youth and John though, not Judas.

God the Father is a male.
God the Holy Spirit is a female.

This is apparent just by looking at the original scriptures; in biblical Hebrew "father" (obviously) has a masculine gender, while "spirit" has a feminine one.
>>
Because the religious leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam were all male, so it makes sense the the foremost religious leader is going to follow that pattern at the very least in a figurative sense, rather than be labelled female to fulfill some sort of quota. Although considering how fucking uptight Islam is, I'm rather surprised they ever allowed gendered pronouns to be applied to God.

Underrated post

Not to mention birth implies there was a male for this female god to have sex with to create anything but a decent sandwhich

God is transcendental, and therefore beyond any conception of gender.

To experience his glory, of course.

I tend to lean towards the h2g2 theory: the earth and our civilization is a giant computer built to answer the question of life, the universe, and everything

Honestly, most peoples who talk against god or the concept of god in general have absolutely no fucking ideas what they are talking about and fail to understand their own lack of knowledge on the subject, genuinely believing that religious folks have faith in a magic bearded man in the sky. The only way they can depict their opponents is as a parody of their belief, thus preventing themselves of ever effectively fighting them since they cannot even tell them why they ( the spiritual folks) are in the wrong, apart from using absurd rhetoric that are so vague and inconsistent that they could be applied to pretty much everyone, themselves included.

Also most peoples do not realize how much the concept of God has been manipulated since the days of old, at first being something pretty noble being turned into a tool only used by short-sighted fools to gain more political power. Nearly the entirety of what we consider the 'truth'/canons in modern Catholicism per example is so different and diverting from the original canons of Christianity that it could literally be considered an heretic branch of the religion rather than one of its pillar. You wouldn't believe how much info they modified over the time, from subtly modifying part of the books to literally making up entire part of it on the spot to get more pagan convert.

God did not give birth to the universe, God willed the universe into existence.

A carousel of uncontrolled emotions and insecurities like a woman could never have done it.

God is neither male nor female. God is God.

We ascribe masculinity to God because Jesus, who is God, was male and refered to His Father, who is also God, as male. And since the Holy Spirit is also God, the masculinity thing follow suit.
>>
>>762358

This is just accepting Christianity as the paradigm about who and what God is.

The bible was written by patriarchal males.

I'm more saying that a god isn't necessarily corporeal, so how would it have any sexual dimorphism?

Maybe one can call it... Transcengender.

The alternative is that it is impossible to determine any information about this God.
Humans tend to prefer meaningful answers that lead toward more understanding, rather than arbitrary terminating ideas that cannot be determined.
