Why? ponderings on god

Why is it that we always refure to god as a man? when in the bible (supposedly god own word through man) it shows no preference towards man or woman. How could a specific gender create the opposite gender with such great knowledge. It would have to be outside of physics, outside of everything we know of to do this. Maybe we just put it into a man because 1) we are scared of what we don't understand and therefore categorise it into something we do and 2) when the word of god started when we lived in a very patriarchal society and the man was the head of the house and the most powerful, so if god is the most powerful being (if in fact he is a being) then we would automatically associate it with a man. I don't know, that's just what we discussed in philosophy and ethics today!

Oh and when people (bible bashers) tell homosexual people that the bible says it is wrong to be homosexual they are correct, it does. In the 3rd book of the bible. But it also says in the paragraph after it that speaking back to your parents is wrong and you shall be stoned to death, it also says that adultery and idolisation is a sin and you shall be stoned to death. So these people are ignoring the rest and only using the bits they want so they can preach. When this is hypocritical. They cannot say they have never been rude to their parents! As Jesus said to someone who told him he was doing wrong by not saying a woman who had committed adultery had to be stoned to death: "the first person to throw the rock, first tell me that you have not sined, from the eldest" so he was saying the eldest person here must first tell me he has never sined, now this would be hard because no one can never sin, so the crowds dropped their stones and left. Jesus said to this woman never do it again basically.



N.B. I am not christian nor do i believe in god so this is a athiests point of view. Dont be offended.
