Your god is he, she, or it?

If they are up in the sky they are more powerful for sure. :)

I hope you don't get mad at me.. but if you are open to lots of religion why not settle for only one, the one who overcome the grave, the one who forgives, the one who authored LOVE, the one who created us all... and His name is Jesus.

@vandana7 Yes up is good down is not so good lolz

The Bible was written by men. So what can you expect?

@MALUSE ..Men who hate their mothers? Did that come from the era of caveman? Men going out to hunt, risking their lives, and returning with bruises..women take up comparatively easier jobs.

@MALUSE Yes, both the Bible and the four Gospels were written by men.

But Mother Mary is also powerful, right?

@vandana7 well , let's just say i adore Mother Mary . Though , i don't pray the rosary , because i believe in the bible - no repetitive prayers. I love Mama Mary . That's what Catholics call her .

@vandana7 Mary is not God, There is only one God whose role is in three.. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He does all this role but He is only one. Mary is just a human being who is a perfect example who follow God obediently that is why she was chosen to be an instrument to carry the child of God without blemish but all in purity. If Mary is here with us, she will always say to pray to God and not to her. There is this one occasion in the bible where two disciples of Christ tore their clothes and put ashes in their head when the people start worshiping them when they thought they are God. Read the Christian bible so nothing can confused you. There is only one God who overcome the grave so whoever believes in Him will have eternal life just like Him and that is Jesus. No one can comes to the Father unless through Christ. I hope you will never stop searching until Christ reveal Himself to you.

I mentioned in a comment above, although I'm not catholic i went to a catholic school and had to take a few bible study courses. In these courses we weren't taught beliefs but we were taught the bible as if it were any other work of literature. The catholic bible never addresses God as man nor woman. God is referred to as God with the capital "G". This is because God is a being that is above human and at the same time a reflection of all the humans on earth and so no gender is assigned. That's at least what is written in ink

Exactly what i was thinking today. :)

@vandana7 I actually think, some of the characteristics we naturally assign gender attributes to.. because it's what we can relate to. Like "birth" is normally female, "comfort" is typically female. "Defend, war-like" is typically male. But I suspect things are more complicated than that

@Drosophila , this is the most liberating concept to define an enigmatic entity.

What did mother mary call god? or did she believe in a different god?

@garymarsh6 ...yeah...makes sense.

@vandana7 Father in Heaven. So it would not be a woman?

@vandana7 Simple, I don't ask!

Very confusing...but when you ask for help, how do you ask.

Now...that is interesting. You seem to be blending god with his qualities...perhaps he is like that. :)

@vandana7 No one knows. None have ever met HIM or HER or IT. All we know is some text that has been passed on to us since generations. And we even do not dare to find out, if such texts were in fact something for real. We always have been blindly following them as the texts from the Lord. And this blind following - we have seen how this gets abused, misused and misinterpreted. This is one reason, I do not believe in those texts.
