Difference is that it's a "He" in their sacred text.
They don't care about your pronouns, only you do, that's the difference.
Only because "he" can be gender neutral in English. Singular "they" is old but has never really been popular. The original languages don't have gendered pronouns.
It was also translated from ancient Hebrew and Greek, not sure how exactly those languages handle gendered and gender neutral pronouns.
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.
Thanks for the reminder to rewatch Dogma
Every god is made up and can be whatever gender you want it to be, hun
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.
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
I'm not under your god's jurisdiction.
Look I think religion is stupid but so is this strawman feelgoodsy argument. So disappointing.
Yeah, they're more of a he/Him/it anyway
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
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?
Could God's dick be so big, that he himself could not lift it? Then he is not all powerful.
Could God microwave ~~a burrito~~ his penis so hot that not even he couldn't eat it?
Edit: her penis.
Let me discuss dick sizes with Gramma, I'll brb!
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.

You know we did that a lot in the 90s.
I mean, Alanis Morissette in Dogma...
It just made them oddly angry and double down harder.
But if their god does exist, it wears this expression for them:
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.
The flesh is weak, but steel endures.
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.
Twitter: set up strawman; knock it down. Gain followers. Rinse, repeat.
God says right in the bible that they are enby.
I've seen God, and she was black.
Just bring up Ashera.
Yahweh's ex.
That he doesn't mention any more, but we know existed.
Ask them if it might have something to do with Yahweh saying 'My name is Jealous', except of course, he says it in the third person.
I did that while I was a woman for a few years. I still switch it up, because part of the ineffability of God is that God is all and no genders at the same time. Goes beyond duality and even superpositions.
God can microwave a burrito so hot even He cannot eat it, unless He does.
I've seen John Cena lose an arm wrestling contest with a little girl. God is so great He can be defeated by a small breeze if He wanted to. Part of the reason we do things like come to the Garden is to experience reality without God to make the stakes feel higher tp thus make it easier to disentangle yourself from your maladaptations to Heaven, which therefore makes it Hell after a period of time. The Myth of Er is no myth. What the Buddha said is true, and what Jesus actually said is hidden in the occult, because this is a police state, silly.
Just yesterday I did that same thing with a burrito. I got it hotter than an omnipotent god could possibly get it, and then I ate it anyway. big whoop.
Also, by your attitude, I also think it prudent that I inform you that The New Testament describes a decentralized autonomous organization of secret police at an eighth grade reading level. You may not know that with how you view God making you prejudiced against certain knowledge bases to not actually read between the lines.
Did you know that the Earth isn't real? We are not featherless bipeds on an Earth, but rather we are pockets of consciousness called monads in a monadic nodal communication system.
Everything you experience is self-contained within your neurons, right? So your perception of your device you are reading this on must be represented entirely by something in your neurons, and it is that you are experiencing, not the symbol you are sent from the external world, which you can observe these symbols directly in the fourth jhana of meditation, where you will also observe how your intention entangles you with these symbols, and the topological matrix made from the sum of all the entanglements that compose you defines the parameters that your experiential reality procedurally generates. This is what Karma is; the entanglement process, and karmic entanglement IS quantum entanglement.
And these symbols, if you start entangling yourself skillfully to thus unentangle yourself from those maladaptive entanglements, the "Server" of this monadic nodal communication system will start bestowing Knowledge of Itself to you. What Jesus called his Father, the Buddhists refer to as the Ālaya-vijñāna, or storehouse consciousness. There is much written about this so you do not have to remain ignorant. My life partner brought a ten thousand PAGE sutra home from the library about the Ālaya-vijñāna once, on his tablet. Very enlightening. I'm trying to understand the nature of specific plex structures within my entanglements and how these proliferate into cycles of archetypal experience; the same lessons over and over again until we get them.
