1. why is God in Christianity often portrayed as a male?

Long ago, people had the stereotypes that men were superior to women. Rather than mother who cared for family, they would have thought that father was a better work for family. Therefore, it is said to portray the most dominant being God as a man naturally. Perhaps people at the time believed that a woman who was lower than a man was not god.
