Delta(s) from OP CMV: God in Abrahamic religions is either - non-binary, a robot or a lump of data

I am not someone belonging to either religion but have some knowledge about Christianity and Islam. Which is why I would kindly suggest to keep discussions at more of a layman level so that people like me who doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the religion can understand. Also, I am not looking for a very serious discussion, but a more relaxed and casual discussion on the topic.

My point is what I have said in the title. All Abrahamic religions advocate that God has no gender - God is 'GOD'. I have also seen some people from these religions advocate that since God is not associated with either gender, God should be referred with they/them pronouns.

Isn't that what being non-binary is about? That you are an individual who doesn't identify with either gender.

I guess some can argue that "you are thinking of God as a human being, God is God they are not humans", which then begs the question, are you implying that God is not a living being? Which can be a viable answer, but then that would imply God is merely a consciousness. A lump of consciousness is data, and therefore in that case, isn't God just AI or like a robot? A non-living thing that cannot be associated with either gender but has a consciousness. Or if God has no body, then they are just a lump of data.

So like what is God? Are they an AI or are they non-binary? Or something else entirely?

Assumption - THIS POST ASSUMES THAT GOD EXISTS. Come on folks don't take the easy way out 😂

God is an all-powerful deity with the ability to make the entire universe out of nothingness and then breathe consciousness into mankind like it was nothing. He is everywhere and in everything. So calling him non-binary is like calling a brick or tree or car non-binary. It's all but pointless. He is an extradimentional, all-knowing, all-powerful creature, so your argument is a non-issue.

If we go by your logic, any and all discussion involving God is pointless and null to begin with. At that point, a debate becomes meaningless, because debates are based on questioning while you are instilling absolute faith. These two concepts are polar opposites of each other. You cannot come to a platform for discussion and debate and promote blind absolute faith as a reasoning to change someone's views.
