The image of God is extremely controversial, and thousands of different interpretations of him/ her/ it have existed in human history. To pick one gender and declare it to be the official gender affiliated with "god" is contrived. My understanding has always been that since God is non-corporeal, God is not subject to such physical attributes as "male" or "female". Even if you do have reason to claim that God has male attributes and not female attributes, there is no reason to bring it up in this discussion. The pronouns by which Greta refers to God don't change the themes or ideas of this thread.Hugh of Borg wrote:******Greta wrote:As with expletives, blasphemous words provide a satisfying breaking of taboos.
Think of it as God kindly providing some extra help for Her weak minions. She has donated Her name to them so that they can release their frustrations rather than unhealthily repressing. If She didn't forbid it then there's be no taboo and it wouldn't work. There's no point being God if you're not a few steps ahead of your creations.
Not wishing to offend but words like God. Lord, Christ are MALE words.
You seem to be a little confused.
The word for a woman is "goddess".
You should be careful about this kind of thing, you may get into trouble.
Blasphemies against God are blasphemies against God.
Just a bit of friendly advice, you do not want to feel the Wrath of God now do you and he may get very angry if you imply he is a woman.
So I fail to see why you find it problematic, and I'd like to know if there's something I'm not aware of.
