does god produce sperm? serious question
i know the title may sound funny but the question behind it is serious...
i have always referred to god as a "he" because of my christian upbringing. i am in the process of trying to unlearn that presumption as well as all of my preconceived notions about who or what god is. if you stop and look critically at it (which unfortunately most religions do not do) it just doesn't make sense.
being a male is a classification of gender referring to a species that produces sperm. does god produce sperm? does god have a penis or testicles? what would they be used for? reproduction? urination?
most believe that god created through word or thought and that there is no female god that he mated with... my assumption is that people started saying god is a male because of sexist stereotyping.
the main religion i know a lot about is christianity (24 years of church and 15 years of christian schooling). i assume that because jesus "took the form of a male" and because he prayed "our father" this stereotype took hold. that in itself doesn't make sense because the ONLY way a father can have kids is through the womb of the mother (or a petri dish but you still need the female egg). unless you were to also say a female god is involved wouldn't one have to assume that god is asexual and essentially both male and female (or more likely neither and should be referred to as "it")?
i'm really bored so i was trying to think of some conversation to start but i think it is a legit question.

Yeah I think Christians just refer to god as he because it sounds better than 'it'.

God is omnipotent; god can fertilize anything and everything.
God also produces eggs, and these eggs can BE fertilized by anything and everything.

If gods omnipotent, how come we live in such a fucked up world? Paedophiles and rapists and murderers and suicide bombers...

God (supposedly) created man in his image so therefore it would be logical to assume he looks like man.

Times are different? How is that a reason why he wouldn't choose to intervene? The world's getting worse, not better. You'd think that an omnipotent being would want to intervene when things get bad, not when they're fine. That makes no sense at all. But hey I can predict what you're going to say -
"we can't comprehend god's motives, we are only human"
Am I right?

God does intervene everyday. every time a child is saved from a life on the street due to a person not giving up on a trouble youth, when a mother and/or parents life's is changed for the better when they become parents. There is a need to feel pain, joy, love, trouble.. God wants people to come to him in need, in love, or just to be thankful for just being alive..
People want to keep God out of Government, out of schools, out of court houses. No brainer!!
We cant blame God every time a something goes wrong.
Example: A child gets killed, maybe hit by a car while playing in the street.
Sometimes the life's or life changed is a not even the person affected.
