God and gender duality
One consideration to add to Eric Hunter’s excellent article on ‘Why doesn’t God save the day?’ is the apparent automatic assumption it is a male figure.
No doubt it originates from ancient days when domination relied more on direct physical prowess rather than projectiles delivered from a distance.
Any deity is likely to be a figurehead to all and not defined by gender. Perhaps there is a message in the recent amplified status by transgender people which may lead the faithful beyond the confines of conflict.
