To me, I do not see it as limiting God as God =Our Father.
He's the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He has many name but all the same meaning. We can call God as "God", "Our Father", "Almighty Father", "Abba" and the list goes on. But all these names refer to God.
God IS Our Father and We are His Children. So I don't look at it as limiting God.

Choose your daddy. It's an awesome thought to know he is my Father. I don't see how he could possibly be limited even by the people who don't acknowledge Him as such but I do believe He has feelings and would like to express my thoughts on how He must feel about it with all the children He created and most of them never even stop to say " Hello Father, I love you".

We limit God everytime we look to a book for spiritual guidance. Book based religions are detrimental to knowing God.

No limit, A father to you can be a son to a mother, an uncle to his nephew, so on and so forth. Limit is only in our mind and not in Providence.

All our relationships are with God only, because He is eternal and so are we.
It is for the sake of simplifying the matter and to accept our ignorance about Him, that we address to Him as our father.

I know of at least one Christian religion that refers to God as Father-Mother God.

If god is our father,who have our mothers been sleeping with?Like-wise,it's ok to call a catholic priest 'Father', but not 'daddy',(although,in some cases,both are accurate).lol.

God is the force of creation, obedience, and leadership ... so the word "Father" describes these aspects of him accurately. However, I think that it does not fully describe everything he stands for.

No. I don't think so.
Christians were taught by Christ to pray, and call upon the lord like this " Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..."

He won't mind one bit; he's pretty limited already just from not existing.
