Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
Several points
1. The qur'an was not written by Allah, it was sent down by Allah. Just as he takes care of the original form in the chests of men and women, so does he take care of the written coppies. "And it is we who have sent down the qur'an, and it is we who will be its gardions."
2. I believe you need to understand something about the arabic language, because that is what Allah chose to reveal the qur'an in. In the arabic language, there are no neutral pronouns unlike in English. For example in English, we have he, she and it. He is masculine, she is feminine, and it is neutral. For example: He is Andrew, she is Maria, it's a table. In arabic this does not apply. In arabic, you only have two kinds, masculine and feminine. This is not only unique to arabic but is also found in simitic languages as well. French also has the same commonality with arabic in this regard. Now the word Allah is masculine, not Allah himself, so this is why Allah uses huwa. There is also the fact she connotes gentleness, whereas he linguisticly connotes magisty so it is befitting of Allah to use the more loftier word.
Third, the qur'an isnot man made. Can you bring your proof? If so, produce something like it if you are truthful.
