Funny, they didn’t seem to mind Morgan Freeman as God this much…

But misogynoir isn’t a thing, right?

Now tell me why I didn’t even catch this truth tho

I’ve read this book, and they literally address this

The entire point of the form God takes in this book is because God was annoyed at always being portrayed as an old white guy, so they portrayed themself as a middle aged black woman

God says (and I’m paraphrasing here) I have no gender or race and calls the narrator out on imagining them as an old white male gandalfy figure

Like you could not get more accurate to the book than with this casting

Yeah but. The Bible literally says God made Adam in his own image and THEN made women. He punished women for not listening to him and later established that women were not to be head of the church. It seems a little odd that he would hold this belief and then turn out to be woman like himself.

Now before you jump on me for this know that I know God is not a being written in stone.

I’m not ruling out the possibility of God changing his mind or appearance or the fact that God hates when people try to give him a face but that fact still remains that at the time he must have been male or at least male like. In fact I’d probably side with Christians hating God being represented at all if it wasn’t for that fact that they didn’t say a thing when Morgan Freeman did it. Like I’m Christian grown but I’m no hardcore fan of religion but it seems when I want to defend Christianity once in a blue moon they’ve already shot themselves in the foot.

I think the most problem I have with this is Octavia Spencer playing God. I’m not saying she can’t or shouldn’t do it. I just can’t help but picture her as that stereotypical black lady gospel singer and honestly if God has a sense of humor he WOULD choose that image to portray herself.

Also what the fuck God is hella impatient. God is petty too. Man maker literally flooded the whole world because he was salty about a few bad people.
