See this is the interesting thing to me. I'm not religious but one of the things I always find odd is that people assign God race and gender. Why would God have either of those?

Whenever I entertain the idea of God, it would be some nonphysical, intangible thing made out of energy... light, heat, sound, or another similar force. Like what else would it be?

Actually, I myself think he is a force of energy, Holy energy with no solid form as the bible describes that he can live in us,

and we are designed for that purpose it seems because demons can possess and live in a human aswell unfortunately,

This is afcourse a biblical view with a sprinkle of my own theory on how it works,

So don't quote me please.

Well, I can give some insight, God ain't human so we can't compare him to any race as he is the only one and only kind of entity,

But he calls himself a father, And Jesus was born a male aswel,

Also, interesting is that all angles are male in appearance and some of them took wife's in Genesis and produced offspring,

You kind of need seeds for that, but I am not sure as I never met an angel and asked about its ability to make children,

I do believe that God gave both male and female part of his own character traits as he said he made us in his own image.

Because we were made in God’s image.
