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.

[–] Johandea@feddit.nu 0 points 1 hour ago

Every god is made up and can be whatever gender you want it to be, hun

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

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.

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

Look I think religion is stupid but so is this strawman feelgoodsy argument. So disappointing.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, they're more of a he/Him/it anyway

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

I'm not under your god's jurisdiction.

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.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

But if their god does exist, it wears this expression for them:

[–] square@lemmy.zip 45 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

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?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

Could God's dick be so big, that he himself could not lift it? Then he is not all powerful.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Let me discuss dick sizes with Gramma, I'll brb!

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 13 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Could God microwave ~~a burrito~~ his penis so hot that not even he couldn't eat it?

Edit: her penis.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] 5765313496@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Mmm-hmm, oh yeah, me too. (Umm... what song?)

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Idk the cool way to share music on Lemmy

Spotify

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 8 points 13 hours ago

The flesh is weak, but steel endures.

[–] Impractical_Island@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

Well, there was this one German band who did that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp53irFjzYg
(Maybe some of you are familiar with the nightcore version instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiVIFMbwxOc)

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 125 points 1 day ago (4 children)

But they never said they don't care about pronouns. In fact they have very strongly stated that they extremely do care about pronouns

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

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.
