Gods

The bible mythology is simplistic compared to other traditions.

Shhh. Think about it before you write it. When you can define what a deity is from a perspective that is mythological or practical perhaps you could manage to be at least somewhat more objective.

What stands out is there are no females in bible theology.

No females. Bible theology. No Eve, no Deborah, no Mary, no Ashtoreth Elohim - let's poke that statement with the mighty stick of logic. A female is defined, for the woke readers, as "of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes" bible as "the Hebrew Aramaic Jewish/ Christian Greek scriptures, the scripture of any religion, and informally a book regarded as authoritative in a particular sphere" from the Latin and Greek biblos and biblia. Biblos being the inner part of the papyrus plant from which paper was made and biblia meaning little books. Theology, put simply, is the study of what a god means as opposed to a textual focus on what it simply says.

So, the statement "what stands out is there are no females in bible theology is about as wrong as it gets. No matter how you look at it and not surprisingly if you don't.

Maybe that is why Chrtianity,Islam, and Judaism are so screwed up on relations between the sexes.

No, that is modern man taking something and making it into a tool for his dumb machismo.

Yaweh never gets laid.

Which is partly the reason why this post is so stupid. Theology etymologically simply means study or reasoning of gods. Yahweh is a Hebrew word which means he causes to become. Creator. Man and woman were both created in his image. Spirit beings have no sex organs. They don't "get laid." The idea that Yahweh doesn't get laid and there are no females in bible theology is, even if ironic, moronic.

Here are some Confucianist expression you should familiarize yourself with. They immediately came to mind when I read your intro and the copy & paste which follows.

Xúe ér bù sī zé wǎng, sī ér bù xúe zé daì [Chinese] - Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. - Kong Qui

The Master said, The gentleman does not esteem a person merely because of his words, nor does he disregard words merely because of the person. Analects 15:23


The oldest known tradition is said to be Hindu.

What is inteesrting is that mythologies developed in Central/South America in relative isolation from the rest of the world.

Hinduism big in Central/South America?

It does not take an expert to see gods are reflections, projections, or incarnations of us humans.

Well, how fortunate for you. You might want to look closer at the stuff you paste. How words are used, often as names, linguistics, etymologies, that sort of thing. Like Zeus, Jehovah, El, Satan are good examples.

El. The Semitic word for God. Who spoke the Semitic language?
 
So, let's look at what may be an interesting case study on gods.

Last week, I broke my longstanding moratorium on creating universes and spun Dwarf Fortress up until I found an acceptable world among the strange multiverse extended by the particulars of the RNG and "raws" and "settings".

Because I have done, with respect to that world, most of the things credited to Jesus or [Kal-]El or whatever, I am a god in the same general sense as [Kal-]El is, among his mythos.

I also have studied the relationship I have with the system intensely, as well as the "meta" around such "world simulations" in general, not just through playing one game but by playing many, and designing them, and automating their operation. Unlike studying metaphysics in terms of antiquity, I study metaphysics by studying the meta around real examples of alternative physics.

So let's do this: let's answer what powers a god can have, what reasons a god can have, what expectations a god should have, by looking at an actual example.

It's just straight up stupid to sit around doing nothing without any real examples, essentially just diddling our own assholes all the way. Rather, those of us who claim to care should be doing real academic and scientific work of looking at concrete examples and doing real research.
