God (boy? girl? both? neither?)

also, why is the original text state, "God the Father", or "God our heavenly Father", or somthing along those lines instead of "God the parent" or "mother"?

Why are ships referred to as "she"?

Because the society was dominated by males.

You can read Aramaic and Hebrew and Greek?

You would only need to know a few words in each.

Why are ships referred to as "she"?

Because the pronoun 'she' is more personal than the pronoun 'it' and suggests an affection or relationship with said object.

Ah, makes sense. And stay at sea long enough, pretty much anything looks like a woman. ^.~

I'm sorry, that was an awful joke. sweatdrop

Yes. Yes it was.

But it's okay, gender-neutral God still loves you. heart  

[Helena Bertinelli]

I've always seen God as more of a masculine figure since he created Adam first, and when my Dad hears God's voice, it's the voice of a man. That and the fact that Jesus was male. :0 I don't think it matters all that much since it's not like God dates people or has children, lol. XD Jesus not included.  

[Galad Aglaron]

Yeah, but the story of Genesis is at odds with most every other creation story in the world. Man, then woman? Shouldn't it be woman first, since it is she who gives birth to men? Why is woman an offshoot of man - and a sinful one, at that?  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

That's why later in the Bible it says "woman came from man, but man is born of woman." It's a fun little paradox. 3nodding Also, Adam wasn't sinful until after Eve came along- then they both screwed up together.
