Deep Stuff

So if I ever got a chance to ask God a question (and this is if I could ask this without first dying, assuming that Jesus really was the Son of God, and today assuming that I believe in him... maybe), I'd ask "Why didn't you choose to be a woman when you came down?"

For some reason, taking the bus home or something, I thought about this. Why? If he was to represent everyone that was mistreated or downtrodden- then shouldn't he have, to be the "lowest of the low" for that time, been a her? Or a slave? But he was a (poor?), healthy, likeable man. A man could rise in the social status, right? A woman could only through marriage... Oh, geez, I'm probably so wrong about the specifics, as I'm not a bible reader, as you may have guessed. Did he not want to be a female because nobody would have listened to him (even more than he had had issues with as a man)? Were the biblical people not ready for a Messiah that was also a female? What would have happened differently? Would we have worshipped her like we do Jesus? And yes, I know this is confusing and complicated because she would be the same person/soul thingy, just in female form.

I'm just wondering would God have created such a large worship base with a female, or might we have written her off as a nut job? More on this later...
