But they never said they don't care about pronouns. In fact they have very strongly stated that they extremely do care about pronouns

    True, the one I always think was strange was when I was 6? I had a 1st grade teacher that was adamant we addressed her and others by the correct form of Ms/Miss/Mrs.

    I was 6, I shouldn't have to care at all which adults are romantically involved nor which government documents theyve signed.

    Ask them how big God's dick is. Tell them you're serious. Make then explain how that's a ridiculous question. Then ask them: if God's gender identity isn't tied to genitals, why do they insist on doing it?

    I've seen God, and she was black.

    I think prefixing Christian god is better. Every time "well thank Christian god you're alright", just subtly remind them there's other religions, they don't like that

    The character of god is basically the ultimate shape shifter. For a being capable of shaping reality with just a thought, I gotta think such a being would be in a pretty constant phase of modifying itself, not just it's reality.

    "He" vs "she" doesn't even scratch the tip of the iceberg when you look at god's arsenal of gender and sex characteristics - just look at some of the crazy shit it put here on earth. And I mean all of it, from the familiar dangly bits in our own pants to like a lizard's cloaca, to pollinators, etc.

    You know the whole "biblically accurate angel" spiel with the trippy shifting eyes? I gotta think god's junk is a similar kaleidoscopic amalgamation of scrotums, clitorises, corkscrew duck penises, pollen, etc; all covered with a hefty amount of pubic hair and buckets of mucous.

     

    Amen.

    GOD IS genderless though, but evangelicals think its a MAN. several movies had made it a woman, to troll how stupid these people are.

    they got upset about how angels are not masculinized, like god they are technically genderless, only not within a host.

    The true god cares not what your fleshy bits or squishy bits say is your pronouns. The true god only cares how many dreadnought rated artillery cannons are plugged directly into your brainstem.

    I serve the Omnissiah.

    I used to do exactly this when referring to the generic all-being (as opposed to the Abrahamic god who has a history and a feminine consort), since biological sex is specific to individual species. Also, the X-gamete is the default. The Y-gamete is a weird shortened appendix.

    Technically, they/them would be more appropriate in this gender-conscious era. It works better for the holy trinity as well, but that's a post-biblical addition to the Christian dogma.

    They/them would be more accurate since the god from the Bible is a mixture of different bronze age gods. Did you notice how God is something shown as bloodthirsty and sometimes as benevolent? That is because they took myths and stories from different gods.

    Did that unknowingly when I was a teen, wondered why it is a he, can't be a she because we are talking about a spirit basically.

    Like many languages, languages of the Bible like Hebrew and Greek have grammatical genders. The aspect of God that smites things is grammatically male. The aspect of God that conveys spiritual strength - usually translated as "the Holy Spirit" - is grammatically female. Progressive movements of Protestantism and Judaism see God as both genders: one of the two creation stories in Genesis states God created man AND woman in God's image. The focus on the male aspect of God, and the second creation story in Genesis with the rib thing, is a conservative movement hang-up and not a general religion thing.

    This reminds me I was stopped in the street a few years ago by someone explaining some newer Korean Christian based religio/sect which believes that there are two images of God, the father and the mother, as humans were created in God's image. I think it is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mission_Society_Church_of_God
