Why call him Father? Why a he? (edit: Okay... Why call him Father and/or why refer to the Creator as a male or he. Hope that's better wording.)
Yes, I know history and politics but think about it spiritually from the believers perspective (if you're not one) or explain to me logically (believers)...
Women carry children, give birth to children, and have motherly instincts whether the father is there or not to take care of her young. I was raised single parent; so, I understand more intimately how a mother can take care of her children and the connection between mother and child.
I have a good connection with my father but I'm getting to know him as an adult. Seeing things from a male perspective as a female is, well, hard. However, in regards to creation and giving birth to creation, I only see that as a mother's role. (If a male role was present then it should be two gods; that aside).
What is behind calling god the father rather than mother?
History and politics aside.
This is for Muslims, non-trinitarian Christians, and Jews.
