God is not a human,so he does not have a sexual idenity. The Bible uses masculine pronouns for God because for lack of better pronouns.

It's okay to be an individual with your own mind, your own thoughts, whatever. But why be nasty? Why be cynical? Why opted out for ignorance simply because you do not understand a thing? There's much we will never understand, but making ourselves foolish surely will not help our lack of understanding. The world is filled with all sorts of darkness. Where and whenever possible, be light...please! Another cynic isn't needed. May the peace and prosperity of The Lord Jesus Christ overtake you.

You pose an really reliable question. One i have heard many circumstances, and thanks for not being advise lively in asking the questions or putting absolutely everyone's faith down. In Islam, we do not imagine of Allah (swt) as someone. God is a not a being, not a human nor some thing that should be so merely comprehended. And as for the "He" reference each and every of the time in books and the Quran, "He" is the merely excellent English translation so a techniques for the Arabic word. So even as God is called a "He" it does not advise that God is male, it really is merely the nearest translation of that Arabic pronoun.

You are attributing God to have materialistic qualities. This is a misinterpretation because it says we were created in God's image. We are spirits in our natural form. The corporeal bodies we find ourselves in on earth are just needed here for this existence. When we return to the spirit world, we are there, in God's image, hence no gender characteristics.
The He/She thing is just human interpretation.

God told us about some of his physical characteristics. God didn't mention (As far as I know) anything about genitals so no one knows...

Why do you care about anyone's genitals? Do you usually walk up to people and ask to see their genitals if you are in doubt? WOW!!!

I think that you should care about God's teachings, instead of caring to know if he is male or female.
it's non of our business to know God's gender because God is not human, so human laws don't apply to him.
and if we call him (it) this is so wrong because (it) often refers to objects and animals ,so leave the way it is because God knows best.
