God is non binary

[LordFall]

This is a pretty big conversation happening online right now that was started by James Talarico saying this as a provocative statement in 2021 and it being used against him unsuccessfully in the midterms.

What's really cool about it is a lot of Christians are taking the side of indeed God being non-binary and being above gender which deeply offends the other half of Christians. 

One of the VeggieTales founders (a christian show) has been on the side of why would God have a gender and it's taken the internet by storm.

I remember Leo talking about one of the greatest joys of doing self-development work is seeing how it intertwines into the grander narrative of the world and I find this case to be a cool example of that. I really enjoy the non-dual idea that dualities are illusory and will eventually collapse and it seems that surprisingly the Christian world itself is putting God through that test. Proud of the lot of them that are using epistemology to assess their faith. A lot of these ideas have been taboo to discuss for basically thousands of years so this is a testament to the value of social media that lets all kind of uncomfortable topics get discussed at scale.

God is not non binary. These are made up concepts of human sexuality. If you asked a cupboard what sexual preference it had it would say you are a retard.

They aren't just arbitrary human inventions, masculine and feminine are fundamental strategies of creation, reproduction, and identity. If you look at God as infinite creative potential, it can generate and express itself through a masculine strategy, a feminine strategy, or a pure existential genesis strategy which is creating directly out of sheer being without needing biological polarity at all.

Because it encompasses all of those modes without being confined to any single one, it is inherently non-binary in its expression while still surpassing every definition we try to put on it.

@LordFall first you say gods not masculine or feminine now you say they are core to what God is.

God falls out of the traits of masculine and feminine but is also masculine and feminine. So whats the point in saying its anything.

Well the point is that a lot of religions portray God as male being who's judgemental and stern and doesn't have feminine qualities. The feminine aspect of divinity is usually attributed to Nature. The idea behind saying that God is non-binary is that it possesses both masculine and feminine qualities as well as beyond, whatever you wanna call that identity plus the transcended quality of being also everything in existence and thus not confined to any category.

God is quite literally non-binary in the fullest sense of the word 

Non-binary.
No binary. No 1 or 0.
No one thing or the other.
No bias.
No one way.

It's supposed to represent the concept of no bias or infinity.

Everything can either be one way, a biased way, or an infinite, undefined way.

If you are everything, then you are also nothing. And if you are something, then you are bounded by being that something, rather than everything or nothing.

So that might be one of the better definitions out there, haha.

Just a teensy-weensy bit better than those saying “God is a man”. Still extremely limited.
