I read some of the religion posts just now.

And I started thinking.

As usual.



Why is God portrayed as a man?

Is it wrong to question something that seems concrete for many people? Something that's even concrete for those who run countries? How can people say that God is a man or a woman without any sort of doubt?

Not even a thought crossing their minds.

So why do they?

For the sake of making sense out of a world they don’t understand?

For closure?

To feel like something is finalized just because they came up with an 'answer?'

No one really knows who or what God is. What if he’s neither man nor woman? Why does he need to have a pen**? Or even reproductive organs in general? What if God doesn’t even look like us? All of this, of course, is under the assumption that God exists, which is something in question all in itself. A lot of evidence shows that humans are definitely not the oldest beings to have ever lived. Look at a bats skeletal structure and a humans skeletal structure. They look almost identical. All mammals have the same amount of vertebrae. Even giraffes. Their vertebrae are just larger. Neither of these animals are really that old considering the 'age' of the Earth either and humans have similarities to them in one way or another. So why are humans the 'models' of God? Where did God even come from? Did another being make God? Who or what was or is that being? How was God created and why? Who created the creator of God? Why? Will this cycle ever end?



A few more thoughts.


There are more women in college than men. As technology grows the demand for hard labor gets weaker and weaker. Is this going to shift anything in the way things are run in this society? If more women are educated where does that leave men? Hard labor? Women are becoming more and more influential as time passes by. Look at Clinton and Pelosi. They are very powerful and influential women. What about the moral and social values of Sweden? Will this western society eventually become female oriented? Or will it stay the same way? Maybe break even - 50/50? Will religion change its perspective? It definitely influences the way people think. Will more people begin to lose faith in something that was once concrete?

Yeah, I got it. Ash, you're a funny guy. You know that? thank you.

I was thinking more along the lines of an entire couple of phrases and sentences. I don't think I said exactly what I meant. That can lead to some really ugly confrontation and confusion. I think.

I guess.

I also wanted to say a few more things that I didn't even think about until I just read the post.

So much to be said. No way I will say them. I can predict how long this thread will become and I don't want to step on any male's toes!

But very I have pondering these very same questions for a long time.

Yesterday, we were taking a very diffficult mid-term. We all agreed that the teacher has a habit of going out of his way to make the questions as complicated as possibe. No wprries right, if you know the answer, you know it BUT having ti weed out all the unnecessary bits to get to the root of the questions takes additional time. So, I observed that all the men finished later than the women in the class. I am not making any broad generalizations about women being smarter than men but we found out that the top five scores were from the women who finished first, so I was jsut wondering.

If men use only one side of their brain during any given task, and women use both (proven fact), is it because we are genetically programmed to multi-task and pay attention to a few things at a time. Say a women may do many things at once but not do all as succesfully. But a man does one thing at a time, and does it well. Which is better? Just wondering...

But I have realized in class that the mmale to female student ratio has changed drastically. ANd the guys who are in class can sometimes be indimidated in class. At least in my field/ classes. Lol. We do tend to be stronger in numbers.
