Kind of a tricky situation for the church, where they try to stay relevant to keep/gain parishioners, and yet risk alienating thier current ones. The slow decline of religion.
I think it shows the flaw in human religious sects, where despite religion meant to be the word of God etc, form many centuries ago, or more, the human leaders feel they need to change the meaning of the original intent too stay relevant.

The Bible is divinely inspired. Jesus is clearly manifested as a male child. The culture and society needed him to be male. A female would have been rejected out of hand.
The New Testament states God is a Spirt. Those who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.
Galicians 3:28 There is no male nor female in Heaven.

All the evidence points toward God being transgendered not once, but often. It was once Aphrodite, even before that the fat chick depicted in statues at Gobekle Tepe, then Zeus, Tridevi, Jesus, Mohammed, and so on.
That’s one gender fluid dude, I’ll tell you that! Your basic, original LGBWTF alphabet thing. So don’t go being disrespectful of those critters - to do so means that God of yours fucked up creating them. Do you really want to second guess God?

I always thought that was an allegory for Moses’ ginger girlfriend. I doubt he’d have gone to the trouble of scrambling all the way to the top of Jebel Musa to spend the night by himself. That staff of his would part more than just the Red Sea, I’m sure.
I think he just wanted to get away from all those damn nosy Jews, and especially Fatima’s mother. Have you even known a Jewish mother? You’d climb a mountain to get away from one too, let me tell you.

Our God maybe some sixteen your pimple-faced kid with a joystick. You advance computers enough(which we are doing in just 50 years) you get all kinds of capabilities.
A simulation would explain a whole lot of mysteries.
