Newsflash, dipshits: God doesn't have a penis or a vagina. God isn't human.

So you're saying God is so non binary that they are non gendered?

[–] The_Lurker@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

God is nonbiological so no gender. Or all genders. If God is in everything, then there are some bacteria with 23 or so sexes, so God possesses genders beyond the scope of human consciousness.

Sorry about the correction, but that number isn't right on two levels.

1: bacteria didn't have sexes. Sometimes they will exchange plasmids via a direct pilus or will pick up strays in the environment.

2: that number is often cited from a book describing certain slime molds (which aren't molds) as having that few, when almost every species we found have something in the 100's. But what I think is cool is that some species of actual fungi have something like 72,000 compatible sexes.

Yes, this. And an attack helicopter.

Ungendered. Degendered. Omnigendered?

One of the basic problems with theists is that they have no idea what God is.

"God is love." In what way? God is just an emotion related to a chemical reaction in the brain?

"God is all powerful." Can he microwave a burrito so hot that even he can't eat it?

"God is omniscient." If everything in the future is already known, then what's the point?

It just goes on and on. Either God is some vague impossibility, or he's exactly the same as a human male, somehow. But a human male is not the same as God, so that can't really be right. But nobody can even give a real framework as to what he could be.

If you can't describe God no matter how hard you try, then what the hell are you believing in? That's the basis for ignosticism.

And iirc, they are referred to using terms for both male and female in the original language of the text.
