Random question on God

Really. And Allah is of course widely acknowledged to not be male-gendered which is why gender equality is so commonplace in fundamentalist Islam since WAAAAAIT A MINUTE

"Allah" is a specific deity with a specific (ostensible) history; this history includes the insistence that Now Is The Time For All Good Men To Chop Up Their Dicks, the Sodom Affair, My Prophets Should Definitely Have Children For Wives and of course I Promise Not To Ever Flood The World To Death Again. In every ostensibly historic record of these theoretical events, Allah/Jehovah/Yahweh/Yahu-Wahu (ALL THE SAME GUY) is "HE". Not "it". Not "the nebulous deity". "HE". Allah is a specific entity, and he's completely a dude. "God" is a general term. How is the former MORE generic than the latter.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Language is fluid

The word "comedienne" exists but no reasonable person insists that "comedian" only refers to men

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sir, if you think that the evolving nature of occupational gender terms makes Allah retroactively into a eunuch, you're even more confused than we already knew you were.

I'm sorry you don't know how English works, but this doesn't give you the right to talk down to anyone. Actually, being ignorant makes you LESS able to be condescending! Funny how that works.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They all went to heaven, dude!

That's the secret of religion! Dying means you WIN!
