He? That right there opens up a rather interesting question. Don't you think a supreme being would be a little bit past gender labels?

And if you are going to use gender labels, why would anyone consider God to be anything but female?

Sure there are those silly illustrations of an old man with a white beard, but that is clearly just a personification based on a purely patriarchal system. If God is the creater who birthed the universe and all of existence, wouldn't a female personification be more apt?
