A Pointless Theological Debate

Q:Why is there no female version of God?

A:God is neither male nor female. He is just referred to in the masculine form; and as such is (mostly) attributed with males qualities. E.g. Mighty, Sovereign, Lord, Strong, The Father, etc.

Q:Who then, serves as the motherly/feminine/matriarchial form of God?

A: The Holy Spirit (?) Attributes: Guide, Counsellor, Caring, Kind, Gentle. The HS is also the manifestation of God within us; the experience of Holy Spirit/God's Love.

Or is this a moot point, since the "motherly" side and the "fatherly" side may well only be attributes that we, Man, decide to label God with? After all, He is Inscrutable and Omniscient as well. Therefore,

Q: Where then, is purpose? What is Man's purpose in life?
Man needs a reason to live. No purpose = Man is nothing.

A:There are several, i.e.

For Christians, there is no other purpose in life than to serve God. Success does not equal fulfillment, so is this it?

If not, What Is?

Pursuit of Happiness? The joy derived from pleasure, success, familial relationships,

Or simply, just to Experience?
Sorrow, Joy, Hate, Chagrin, Wonder, Fear, etc. A cocktail of emotions. To See, to Hear , Touch, Taste, to FEEL. Reveling in just being alive!

OR,
Understanding?
Are we meant to find out, discover, to know?
Is it then, Pursuit of Knowledge?

Comprehension.

Compassion.

To LOVE?
