In reply to by Hamsa

To be specific, God (Elohim) is a parthenogenetic creation, meaning male AND female, as YHVH created her to be a unity. Oddly enough, the Christian myth preserved some remnant of this theology as Mary (Miriam), while it was scrubbed from Judaism. Not entirely though, there are still numerous obscure references to the parthenogenetic goddess in the hebrew bible. Its just not a very happy topic for patriarchal Judaism.
