because it's like saying to someone that he/she must believe in

you go through some motions that mimic rational approach but in
the end what may be deduced through logic will get discarded in
favor of Divine Revelation, which cannot be questioned...

so called 'god' in divine scripture is not really male or
female... but the society of the time it was written in basically
didn't even consider women to be human, so the idea of a female
god was the farthest from anyone's mind of that day in age...
but for that day, you gotta admit they were pretty advanced...

`We come now to the idea of the Gaeia Universe, where the whole of the Universe would be a single living entity of which all mankind is barely an organelle. But unlike the organisms of Earth, the elements of the Universe, energy and matter, are not connected by the bloody and battering interaction of consumption that we experience on Earth, but by the same forces of physics and mechanics which govern the aforementioned astronomical principles. The concept of pantheism proposes an additional connection, one of an overarching divine presence. In this divinity, mind and matter are one, and all things in the Universe are evenly connected'' --B.D. Abramson
