So women are Baal?

Hate to break it to ya, but fathers and sons imply mothers and daughters.

Even worse, half of creation is female, including human beings.

God is beyond sex. God is not male, and he’s not a father - God is God. As limited beings, we have limited language used in various ways for various reasons. But when addressing the infinite, we need to recognize we’ve reached the limits of our language and show a little humility.

And yeah, half the human race does, in fact, matter.

Sheesh.

God is describe in scripture as if he were male.

Jesus called God his father.

We call male inventors the ‘father’ of this or that. Some may have not even had any help from a woman when thinking up their idea.

But, if you want to rewrite the Bible, I guess that’s as good a place to start as any.
