People who believe in God, do you think if I were to meet them they’d get offended if I called him Dad? I can’t help but picture the creator of everything as a parental figure

No , quite the opposite at least for Christianity. He’s called our Heavenly Father, even the famous starts off as “our Father who art in Heaven”. I believe in Islam though you cannot call god father, I could be wrong.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with this. We're His children

There's a Bible verse I believe in Romans it says "we call Him 'Abba,'" which is a child's endearment of saying Father (kind of like saying Papa or Daddy without the weird connotation that has risen in recent yrs)

I mean, many of God’s actions are more motherly than fatherly, and God communicated with the people in ways that fit their worldview at the time, so I often consider God to be a motherly figure. (Though that could just be my bad relationship with my mom and hope for a better one talking)

it would be rude for you to NOT call him “daddy” and offer your body for him to use however he pleases (god is definitely a fetishistic freak)

In Islam, God is not called “Father” in a literal sense to avoid contradicting the core belief in His absolute oneness and incomparability. However, one might describe God as the nurturer of all creation, but only to emphasize His compassionate attributes. So “fatherly” is used as a metaphor for God’s care, not as a title or relationship

That’s what I was thinking to. Tbh I don’t think God is male or female, I think God is something or someone not bound to the concept of gender and sex, I say father because we as humans often associate them with male attributes but if you think about how God created life it’s more reminiscent of a mother
