Do you think of God as a "He"?

Question

I think of God as a Power - and the pronoun I use is It.

Answer 1

I think of God as a Force not a person but out of respect I use whichever pronoun the person I am talking with feels apropriate.

Answer 2

God is a Person so the pronoun it is not correct. God is both male and female. At times, I call God, God. Sometimes I call God Father and sometimes Mother.

Answer 3

well i'm not a religious person to get that out now
i've said that god is both a he and she
i've said that god could be a woman because if she's pms-ing, hurricanes and tornados start showing up and the world is left it shambles
now that was just a joke btw i don't think of it literally
but seriously if god created the world and life, wouldn't that be a more feminine act? to create life to care and punish it seems to be more of a womans thing and plus if god created nature and we call it mother nature that only pushes the opinion of god being a woman
but god could also be a man considering that men tend to dominate and the bible (i didn't read the bible so i'm sorry for being wrong) refers to god as a he and plus a woman who created life wouldn't want to destroy it through terrible natural disasters
but then again, maybe god, he or she, only wanted to keep a balance between good and bad so that way there would be good things, like healing herbs, and bad things, like poisonous plants not to mention carnivorous ones
well i refer to god as both he and she because i'm not sure and besides i'm not even religious so i could be wrong and right and may never know it and even then, my not being religious, i would highly doubt that i would even change my ways

Answer 4

I think of god as an idea, so I refer to god as an "it" unless I am speaking of a particular religion which assigns god a gender value.

If a god actually existed, it would be much larger than our myths, and have no sense of gender. But I do not think that any deity is real.

Answer 5

God is described as a Father. This does not mean that God is of the male gender. But this for us to understand some of the Loving, Carrying, Leading, Atributes that God has.

Answer 6

I have to admit that I believe in God(s) as It (both genderless and comprised of both genders - so It is best), but I often use He or She depending on the aspect I'm dealing with so that I can better identify with the concept I'm pondering or working with.

Answer 7

Thats a good way to think of it. God is not human, but in the bible it says He created man in His own image, which is why He is considered a "He". But I know some people who think of Him as a "She". I don't think it matters too much.

Answer 8

I think that God has no form that we could recognize, but the he does have personality, emotions, and desires, and therefore is a persona and not a thing. As such, we are created in his image, also experiencing these attributes.

Answer 9

I think of God as "They." I'm a polytheist Pagan. There seems to be much too much variety in this world (let alone universe!) to come from just one God.

Answer 10

I think of god as an entirely man made concept and women should be proud for the fact they had little to no involvement in the invention of that most mendacious and deplorable lie.
