applying male or female to the Almighty might make it easier for man to understand, but it doesn't make it a "fact". If someone wants to consider our Creator as being female, fine. If one considers our Creator to be male, fine. It doesn't change anything.
One of the favourite claims of theists who can't defend their position any other way. It allows them to make the same criticisms of atheism that atheists do of theism, but even apart from the logical fallacy of the "you're one too" arguments that follow, it's quite false, as should be obvious after a moment's reflection to anyone with a 3-digit IQ.
Amazingly, I agree with Gerry - a baptized and confirmed Believer. If Gawd were male, then logically he would have a female counterpart - a Gawdess consort. For if there were no Gawdess, then his maleness would be supertfluous. And because sex implies proCreation (capitalization mine), there would be, by implication, a whole heaven of Gawdlets, themselves proCreating. And so on, and so on, endlessly. Hence, Gawd cannot be male.

Well we learn all the time. Just because something does not fit into a scientific and logical basis does not preclude the possibility that it can be true.
The world is filled with the unexplained. Where science on countless occasions have corrected themselves. And I am referring to recently.
I believe we have a purpose both here and hereafter.
Wow. That was a random choice.
I like it, let's run with it.

For if Vlad had a purpose, then the Unknowable placed him on this planet for that cruel purpose?
Yes he had a purpose - Not Gods though - his own -Blaming God for a mans actions is the easy route.
No blame, just thoughts. But, if the Unknowable be omniscient (love that word; tough to spell), he knew what that scalliwag (no blame here, either) would do. Or, is the Unknowable limited?
See above, SLM.

God gave us free will. We make our own choices - it is very easy in life to go down the wrong path. I am not referring to Vlad the monster that he was.
When I was much younger I came very close to that. Young and dumb.
Basically what you're saying is why does God allow evil to exist? Or if evil exists that that somehow disproves the existence of God?
