I don't know who was their english teacher but the word "god" is on masculine and it's feminine form is "goddess" so now why in the hell are they referring to god as a she, can't they spell goddess or what?

if you're telling me that god can be both genders then why in the hell the word "goddess" exists in English... it doesn't make sense

God isn't necessarily male. God isn't necessarily any gender. I see no problem in switching up the pronouns used to describe it. It's not like men have a monopoly on pronouns.

That is a limited viewpoint.
Some see God as a gender neutral word. Some of those may use the reference "she" just to shake things a up a bit for those that only see God as male.
God is a general word with many meanings. Get used to it.

"Goddess" is usually looked upon as a Pagan point of view. Christians believe in "God". Period. However, God is genderless and "it" seems a bit impersonal, so many Christians try to alternate pronouns to keep it fair and to not leave out the females. It's a nice touch and I for one appreciate the gesture.

Just because the men who wrote the bible, wrote the female right out of the picture, doesn't mean She does not exist. 52% of world population are female. It would be more if not for the mass murder, of the female fetus. Can no one see what harm an all male god does to women? Woman, come on, you know men will never see it, they are not the ones that are being heniously attacked.

people use masculine and feminine words all the time for inanimate objects such as cars etc
this doesnt mean the car has a gender ... but the person relates to it in such a way
God has no gender and people relate to God in whatever way makes sense for them
no harm done .. so chill a little

I refer to god as it. God has no gender, not without a god of another gender. Asexual beings are it, not he or she.

it's not easy to believe what is written by man. most of it is made up to keep people in order. since everybody can't live with love in their souls. if you ask a real man about a women they will tell you there's nobody higher to look up to.

God can be either he or she, after all God is androgyneous. She's cool with that.
