I don't believe in god but there was a whole movement of folks in the 1700s and earlier who believed god was a woman. I wrote my senior thesis on it. Check on Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Sor Juana's second dream is historical fiction but it documents her thought process and experiences.

Have you ever heard of the final wound of jesus being referred to as a womb?

This is what I think too.

In my mind, God is a man with wavy white hair that flows just past his shoulders. He has tired blue eyes and a white beard that reaches his chin...yes, my God looks like a mountain man I am realizing.....lol
Mine too. People can picture God however they want. He doesn’t have a human physical body. I picture Jesus(who I believe does have a body) as a shorter man with tan skin(about olive complexion) brow eyes, long dark hair and beard. With rough hands and scars.

I don't understand that either, being that I'm fairly certain that the Christian bible at least essentially acknowledges other deities.

“There is none like you among the gods, O Lord” (psalms86:8)
“He is exalted above all gods” (psalms97:7)
“You shall have no other gods before me”(Exod. 20:3)
