God's gender

< UK voters rebel against bad slogans | SenderID >

I can't help thinking that ascribing an entirely (or primarily) female persona to God misses the point just as much as ascribing an entirely (or primarily) male persona.

The real problem seems (to me) to be that the English language's only gender-neutral pronoun, "it," comes with the connotation of a lack of intelligence.

(I'm not trying to open up a big can of gender equity worms here -- some humans have been unfair for thousands of years, and some still are.)
