The Hebrew Bible’s description of God as male helps promote a kinder, less violent, more just world.

Without a father or some other male rule-giver, young men are far more likely to do great harm to others and themselves. 

Girls, like boys, are more likely to obey a male authority figure. More than half of female inmates come from father-absent homes. 

As the ultimate authority figure, God is best understood as masculine and a father.
