    The character of god is basically the ultimate shape shifter. For a being capable of shaping reality with just a thought, I gotta think such a being would be in a pretty constant phase of modifying itself, not just it’s reality.

    “He” vs “she” doesn’t even scratch the tip of the iceberg when you look at god’s arsenal of gender and sex characteristics - just look at some of the crazy shit it put here on earth. And I mean all of it, from the familiar dangly bits in our own pants to like a lizard’s cloaca, to pollinators, etc.

    You know the whole “biblically accurate angel” spiel with the trippy shifting eyes? I gotta think god’s junk is a similar kaleidoscopic amalgamation of scrotums, clitorises, corkscrew duck penises, pollen, etc; all covered with a hefty amount of pubic hair and buckets of mucous.

     

    Amen.

        Afaik the English version of the lore has always been ‘he’. The original story according to the original language though, idk.

        …I’d guess the original also used masculine pronouns though, mostly because of the whole triune thing - their ‘god’ is actually three critters rolled into one. There’s the ‘father’ or what most people mean by the word ‘god’, the ‘son’ or ‘Jesus’, and ‘the holy spirit’ which is basically The Force from Star Wars.

        I don’t recall a sex or gender ever being assigned to The Force, but even if it is canonically female, the sausage fest from the other two would still tip the scales into ‘he/him’ territory.

        They/them is probably the most accurate even of the lore itself doesn’t use it - between the three, god is gender fluid. Volatilely so if we’re going with the kaleidoscopic dance in the pants that is my preferred head canon (there’s nothing in that book that suggests this isn’t the case, and believing based on the lack of disproof is the whole basis for their cult in the first place, so I’m rolling with it!).
