I believe all our language of God is really metaphor, because God is not human. To speak of God as Father is really just an attempt at understanding God in human terms, so i have no problem understanding God as Mother as well. The Bible is full of lots of different images and metaphors for God, but our patriarchal society has limited it to Father.

When God created man in his image he made them male AND female. If there are the Father and the Son, the only person in the Godhead left for the female is the Holy Spirit. To many Christians, even since church fathers, this idea makes sense.

Purely God. Although He does not have male genitalia, He is constantly referred to as Father, He, and Him in the Bible. So God is the Father... and never 'Mother'.

There's only on true God. God did however invite Jesus's mother to be the queen of heaven and so she is.
In the rosary after Jesus rises in the glorious mysteries, Mary is crowned the queen, but there is only one true God. No godess, no other gods, just God.

Yes; I honor Them as the Lord and the Lady, the dance of Whose love is the soul of the universe.
I believe that human beings interpret the Divine in human terms, and since human beings have two sexes, it is natural to interpret the Divine as having both male and female characteristics, and also to be in a dualistic/complementary relationship with Itself.

God is the Father
Mary is the queen of heaven, and mother of the earth

I believe in God. In the Bible, He isn't referred to as a woman, but I believe He embraces qualities of both man and woman. He created us all and He created us in His image so He has to have a little of all of us in His personality and vice-versa.

I believe there is a god and goddess entity. They are equal. It's a world of opposites, why should the deities be any different.

No because there is only one God above all else and he is referred to as "He, Him, and His" in the Bible.
