Where I state the obvious because it was on my mind

Characterizing "god" as a man is a way to "other" women. And by other, I don't just mean, "not like me", I mean "nothing like men, not even like the creator of the universe, just some thing that I can't understand because I don't want to listen and accept women as my equals." And its been that way since the advent of the monotheistic religion that was the precursor to the religion that has consumed a third of the world. I wish I could lament the advent of monotheism, especially this terrible strain, without being compared to genocidal meglomaniacs. I don't want to kill anyone, I just want people to think about things a little bit.
