Like if She's a sexually reproduced being (else, whence Her sex?), why don't Mum or Dad get any kudos or divine authority, may we expect the pitter-patter of little divine feet at some stage, and who would Dad then be? God 'explains' the unexplained with the inexplicable, I reckon, and I wield Occam's razor very much in the Carrol-Coxian manner on this. 'God' mystifies and misdirects (especially interpellating our moot afterlife-selves at the expense of our being/agency in the world) more than is economically efficient. Cheers, Rob.
