Topic: why is God in Christianity often portrayed as a male

Summary


God is strong. God is omnipotent. God is never weak. So who is stronger, male or female? Biologically, this man is stronger than women. Then wouldn't it be natural to paint God as a man? 

Interesting


In Christianity, God is portrayed as a man. But other religions also express God as a man, woman, or animal. What is the particular emphasis on men in Christianity? At least I think that's how I expressed it with the symbolism of power. Power is important. If you have power, you can beat the powerless. Christianity essentially presupposes an omnipotent God. And perfect and flawless. That's why he drew it as a man because he thinks that he is strong in the human eye. 

Discussion
If so, are there any religions that like weakness? Wouldn't there be religions that are comforted by weak things and seek stability? Almighty is good, but there is also a question of whether there is a religion that likes to be weak. So what are the characteristics of the religion? And what are the characteristics of those who believe it? Or there will surely be a religion that believes in both. So how else is it different from this?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea? -       Since Korea is the number one suicide rate among OECD countries, many efforts have been made to lower it. Currently, the government is establishing a public-private cooperation system to prevent suicide based on the community. In addition, emergency medical institutions are working together to prevent suicide attempters from leading to secondary suicide, thereby strengthening the response to suicide attempts and preventing secondary spread. In addition to this, the government has made numerous efforts, including specialized suicide prevention projects for each life cycle and creating a culture of respect for suicide prevention life. But the first thing to change is people's perception of psychiatry. Depression, a major cause of suicide, is a disease, so it is natural to go to the hospital for treatment. However, many people in Korea think that going to a psychiatrist is strange. It is thought that it is difficult to reduce

Week 11-4. Did you find yourself changing your presentation when you met with different people? Male/females? Attractive/ nor attractive? Others?

I personally find myself changing my presentation with different people. I am much comfortable with females because the conversation topic is more in common and girls are often more compassionate than boys. I find myself more comfortable, funny and soft in front of girls. Also, I become very talkative and outgoing when I'm with people that I think are attractive. I feel desire to appeal myself when I see someone that I like, because naturally you can be more awkward and less confident when you're interested in that person but I don't want to hide myself.  I am usually relaxed and calm in person but attractive friends make me active, which can give me inner energy so I try to hang out with favorite people a lot.
