It doesn't matter. It is one of the questions people (in general, not you specifically) ask because actually getting down to the nitty gritty of the bible and doing what it says is too difficult. People don't like focussing on the important things, like where it says "love each other" and "do to your neighbour what you would have them do to you" because that would involve a change in their lifestyle and going against a lot of the so-called values in the world. Instead they focus on, God, male or female?, what exactly was Jesus writing in the sand? Who was at fault in the original sin? etc etc.
It is displacement activity... I can't do the big things so I will focus on all the little things and use them to distract from the fact that what I am being asked actually asked to do might mean I have to change.
Little analogies could be the multitude of excuses children give for not doing their homework or not tidying their room.
God bless.

PS Keep smiling Hector, you made me smile so you get a thumbs up from this judgemental christian even though I will get thumbed down for daring to actually read the book :) mwah

"Male" and "Female" only exist for the recombination of genes during reproduction.
Last I checked... monotheistic "Gods" don't need to reproduce, and even if they did then it would be asexual by spontaneous self-division. Sexual reproduction, requiring genders, also requires differentiation therein.
As such... unless God produces gametes of either the egg or sperm variety.... exclusively.... then God doesn't have a gender.
Arbitrary titles don't count.

I always imagine him as male, but I can't remember how he looks like.
It's like he's faceless, yet I know he has a face or something, but whenever I just focus on what he looks like, I just tend to mentally black out, because it's really hard to imagine.
I imagine him as really big up in the heaven.
Oh, well, I am agnostic anyway.

God is a Spirit and is always referred to with the male pronoun "He" in the Bible.

God is neither male nor female. God is God, period. We try to assimilate God to our form, that is why we refer to God as "him", but He is beyond our capability to understand.
