How would we judge a Goddess on the problem of evil?
I was thinking: we accept that we have different standards for people according to their gender. So i was questioning myself:
Despite we accepting God as genderless, we often associete with a fatherly nature, masculine gender etc. If we came to associate it with a women, would we have different standards? For example, would we find the problem of evil as less justifiable, or would philosophers think gods justification (free will, something we associate more with father care than a mother care) less viable as a defense?
Also: besides we admiting that god has no gender, we will asociate it with a man and a father. He display masculine freatures, but would it also (in a sense) mean that we would not be able to justify his behaviors (requirement of children sacrifice) as god-like if we thought of him as a women (because of higher standards on women and motherhood)?
I am mostly interested in a feminist view on this.
Alao, sorry about my english.
