i believe that god is a woman. i base this on all of the good and beautiful things in the world. for example, the tropical islands, the fish that inhabit those waters, the fact that if a pregnant mother has AIDS, the disease is not passed on to the child. what do you think?

Actually, you are close. God is asexual except our inability to express such without long, convoluted paragraphs.
What you suggest though is confirmed in Gen. 1 where it is the Spirit (feminine) hovering over the chaos and in several stunningly beautiful passages in Proverbs - Wisdom is Spirit is feminine.
English does not have a "sexuality" designator for every noun. Older languages like Hebrew and NT Greek do.
Thus your hypothesis is confirmed - in part. One aspect of the Divine Self which God has chosen to reveal appears feminine in nature.

"Better Advice from AJ" is correct: the Bible ALWAYS speaks about, or refers to, God in the masculine gender. It is the women's movement that has brought the God-is-a-female idea into popularity, although they were hardly the first to come up with it. And God, being by his very nature prefect, is certainly able to create beauty. (Men can have a sense of, or appreciation for, beauty just as well as women, they just don't like to admit it.) As for the AIDS in pregnant women thought: how does that relate to God being man or woman? If you think it through, it doesn't.

God created both man and woman. Clone a man and you can get both a male and female, but clone a woman, and you can only a woman. He made man first, than clone a woman from him. As for creating beauty, consider artists. Is male or female created art more desired?

I believe that God is bothe male and female, but the female aspect is more prominent. This makes for an equal balance in nature.

Well God is neither Man or Woman but I like to think that God loves us like a Mother loves her child. I do like to think of God in a Matriarchal sense at times.

Many Pagans do believe the Divine to have definite feminine characteristics. Some go as far as saying that the Supreme Being is female.

I do believe that the Divine has more feminine qualities that masculine. And you are right, it is apparant in all of creation that I find it hard to believe that if we had to put a gender to God...that we would say "HIM".

if you really want MY opinion then read on... OK, here is what i think:
1)God made man. then he got lonely so god made him a female from a part of that man (no offense but see where I'm going here?)
2)For god so loved the world that HE gave his only begotten SON...
3)remember that god isn't human so he isn't bound by gender stereotypes (also, being not human, he isn't sexist)
there's the facts, the nitty-gritty facts (sorry if i busted your bubble)

God is neither man nor woman. male nor female. neither is he a shim. God is not a human being like us, therefore has no gender. although the Bible mainly refers to God as He or Him. but in one book in the Bible, it refers to him as a woman.

Oprah, Martha Stewart and Step Mothers worldwide are in direct contradiction to this theory.
