Britain has some wacky beliefs, too

Perhaps my fellow Americans feel a little dismayed at the news of all those young creationist school teachers…well, a recent poll in Britain showed that people have some awfully materialist opinions about god.
Only 1% of people think of God as female, with 62% considering God to be male, the online survey conducted earlier this month of 1,050 adults in Britain found.
Weird. So god has a penis, and a Y chromosome?
Some day, they've got to ask people some other details of god's physical attributes. What shade is his skin color? What color eyes does he have? At his age, does he get regular prostate exams?
When you get bored of speculating on imponderable nonsensicals, you can take a second and crash their poll: do you believe in the supernatural? Yes is winning 60:40 right now.

What's best is that they claim web polls "tend to reflect general public opinion and can sometimes make the authorities sit up and take notice on important matters that affect our way of life."
Oh, really?

But if you asked me Odin's gender I'd say male! (Note: I am not an Odinist.) When you're asked about the attributes of a legendary character, you generally just take your answer from the legends concerned.

I like to imagine (and its all imagination) that God is some mystical third gender. It has as-yet-undreamed-of genitalia, but top theologists are working on it.

#2: "God is a white male with a very large penis, thus... "One nation, UNDER God"
So is God a teabagger?
I've often considered the claim that 'God greated man in his own image', which therefore implies that God does indeed have a penis. Which begs the question, what does He do with it?
(And if we're intelligently designed, why the need for circumcision?)

In 2005, a European Union survey of the UK indicated:

Don't believe in God or higher power: 20%
Don't know: 2%

The kids' apologist magazine article I read said that God is made of nothing. If He was made of something, that would imply someone made Him.
In a way not intented, I can kind of see this writer's point. After all, figments of the imagination never have substance.
The same magazine has an article on "Angelology."

When I was still LDS, about the age of 13, I asked my bishop about God's wife. I started the conversation by asking if a man had to have a wife to reach the highest kingdom of heaven, did that mean God was married. To my surprise the bishop said yes. Then I asked why we didn't pray to her as well. He said something like "because Father-in-heaven loves Mother-in-heaven so much that he doesn't want their children to hurt her". I remember thinking at the time that Mother-in-heaven wasn't much of a mother. A little while later, I remember thinking that if I was god's wife, and he was keeping me away from my kids, I'd kick his ass.

Finally, some ammunition against a religionist I know that thinks believers of 'God' are embracing some metaphysical quality, and not literal attributes (Because men have an inherent image of power or some shite).
It does make one wonder, though, why these people don't see a contradiction in giving a supernatural being natural attributes.
Sad.

lol... I had this conversation with my chaplain (really great guy, his theology is fairly weak but that's a plus in my book since I'm atheist - and his humanitarian side is very strong, with good people skills). I can't remember exactly what I said, but I referred to God as "he", and my chaplain stopped me and said "Who says God is male? Why can't God be a she?". I had a bit of a think about it (I was trying to point out some kind of inconsistency, so my grammar wasn't what I had been considering), and finally answered that assigning gender to a word is very different to assigning sex to an individual - the word "God" is masculine (and the word "Goddess" is feminine), and using the appropriate singular pronoun "he" doesn't imply that you believe God has a dick (or even that he exists at all).
Besides, referring to something deemed to have a personality as "it" seems kind of rude to me... I refer to my rabbit as "he", even though the relevant parts of his anatomy got removed early enough that "it" might well be more biologically accurate...
*grin* I like bunnies... much more interesting than gods anyway... ;o)

That is the thing about theology. The philosophers may have their "god" who is unknowable or who does not exist (yet is responsible for being), but that doesn't affect your average theist much.
I suppose more interesting than the old question of whether god has a penis etc. (and why) is if he evolved as well. Or did he have the same strange designer who could only modify hereditary traits just like Behe's god?
OK, this is Britain, I suppose we can discard the bizarre ID god. So the question is why god is a version of an ape (so to speak) as we are.
And why, considering that Americans no doubt see god as a super man, or no better, as a super woman, would anyone suspect that god would design life completely differently (and in glaringly stupid ways in many cases) than humans design things? If ID were even an honest theology it would be asking questions like this. Even more so if it were any kind of science.

Haven't you ever read the Shiur Komah literture within the Talmud and kabbalah? Every part of god's body is described in great detail.

I'm guessing the god-as-male thing comes from a general public perception of male=default sex, female=other, "marked" sex. But this raises so many questions! Does God get blueballs? Embarrassing erections? Does he wear underwear?
Posted by: Siduri | May 20, 2008 6:45 PM
I suppose that has a lot to do with the masculine pronouns used to describe God in the Bible, even though it states God is a spirit, without physical form. So I would imagine most take those pronouns and assign physical characteristics in an act of anthropomorphizing God so to have an easier way of imagining God.
Or something to that effect.

i remember sometime during the last millenium catching part of a documentary about christians in korea or some such topic and the one clip that stayed with me was an interview of a korean man saying that not only did he believe in jesus christ son of god but he also believed that christ was a caucasian with blond hair and blue eyes.
i immediately thought: "how horrible!" this pathetic person had built himself a mountain that he could never scale.
most deists with an anthropomorphic vision of their diety create one in their own image and define themselves as the chosen people of that god, yet here was a person submitting to a god that he could never claim kin to, no matter how hard he prays, no matter what he sacrifices. it seems that instead of enjoying the ego-boost most religions give their faithful, this person was basically condemning himself to a permanent inferiority complex. and if god is white, blond & blue-eyed, how could this person ever have any kind of relationship with any white blond & blue human being in which he wasn't automatically inferior all the way down to his corpuscles?
watching that guy confirm his strange faith just seemed so heartbreakingly tragic.

Just discovered this from the ICR magazine. I am a YEC agitator.
I am confident that the number of Yec teachers here would be higher if they were themselves given a good education on YEC. They only support evolution etc because they believe its the accurate conclusions of scientific research. Their opinions are based on very little self thought or self research. They just accept what they read in their teachers manuels unless they have a different belief system going on already.
Despite all the educational and societal censorship of creationism there is great evidence that with equalit,y or almost, the whole confidence in evolution or much of its conclusions would shatter and be put with all the other discarded errors of thinking men in the assheap of history

god is a white, European male with a fine beard. I saw this in Michelangelo's painting. It also shows Adam with a small penis and no body hair - apparently Mickey's ideal male.
My personal visions of god, back in the 60's, always involved giant purple bats, so not sure exactly what god looked like, the bats really caught me eye.
god pees standing up, that is what rain is. Thunder is stomach problems and/or flatulence. You probably do not want to know what hail is.

One of the comments:
This is kind of sad because it demonstrates a lack of understanding of language (and the importance of it). God is not male, HE is MASCULINE. As in the "universal" meaning of masculine which is in contrast to the "universal" feminine. This is because God can only act or affect others, He cannot be acted upon. In other words, nothing can change God. There is nothing in all of creation which can change God. This is the definition of masculine.
To say that God can be feminine, is to say that He can be influenced or changed by things exterior to Him. In other words, to say God is feminine is to say God is not perfect. And if it can be said that God is not perfect, then why not worship something other then the "perfect" God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob . . . . maybe worship something like nature or a perfect society.
Wow. The sexism. But this does explain the fundie inability/refusal to ever learn anything: that would require changing, which would not be masculine.

Well, of course the majority think God is male! If ideas are affected by the words used to think of them, I don't see how a conventionally Christian majority would think otherwise. God(masculine) sent his(masculine) only begotten (presumably this is where the penis...ah...comes in) Son(masculine). The Father(masculine), the Son(still masculine) and the Holy Ghost (the only gender-neutral component of the Trinity.) The obvious patriarchal set-up in the Old Testament (are any of Adam and Eve's daughters given airtime? Or, indeed, names?
IOW, kind of a no brainer.

I've always assumed the supernaturals have a giant control console with lots of knobs to twist, switches to throw, and lights to blink. So when a god hankers after a pretty shepherdess, it selects MALE, maybe increases the TESTOSTERONE, and perhaps makes a few adjustments to assorted bodily parts, then beams itself down besides her and....
For some reason they don't always bother to select HUMAN, occasionally materialising as various other creatures. LION with WINGS and HORNS was, I think, at one time popular.
One of the more interesting controls is FISSION, which breaks the god into pieces so it can be in more than one place at once.

OK, so according to the christians, god is a male ghost. He made Mary, a young virgin, pregnant with his only begotten son, who is in fact himself!
And if Dee (comment 27) is correct, and he is married, does that mean he was playing away? Or have they only been married in the last 2000 years?
That also means gods wife is also the step mother of jesus, who is also god, so she is gods step mum, as well as his wife!!!
And if we are all gods children, who gets custody of us if they divorce?
Confused? You will be. Tune in next week for the answers to these questions, and more.

what is so suprising in an imaginary being invented by men reflecting their own prejudices- most gods invented by men are male - how else would they consolidate and validate their control of women?
