I'd probably be least obstructive by just answering the questions as I see it. God is above gender. Male & female are created for reproductive purposes; the eternal have no need to reproduce (note I didn't say immortal, I said eternal. there's a difference). As an almighty being, God can intervene in any way, however small & subtle or big & blatant, but chooses not to micromanage everything. Furthermore, being omnipotent, God isn't really leaving us alone, even if God's not actually doing anything at the moment. The god of all 3 major semitic religions is the same supreme being. However, as for the rest of that question, keep in mind that not all the ancient religions had a supreme being. Zeus/Jupiter was often as fallible as a human, and Odin actually was just a human who ate magic food to stay alive. And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!" |
