Mother Goddess to Male God... why?

It's all about power, isn't it? The world was advancing quite nicely with a Mother-Earth Goddess-based religious tilt then we had to have this male-centric power struggle, didn't we? Plenty of religions get along quite nicely whilst sharing power with females, so why is it that the Judeo-Christian-Islamic mob have this males-only rule? It's not as simple as monotheism vs polytheism, it is a serious post-Abrahamic divide. A decision was made - either by God himself or by the men behind his marketing - that God was one, and that one was male.

It's worth a thought or two. Why male? Why not neutral? Was man made in God's image or is man recasting God in his?

Check out Tiamat. She held the tablets in Sumerian mythology, not Moses. Her creation myth is here. And here is a more complete exposition of the shared roles of males and females in the Babylonian creation myth.
