Several reasons for my referring to God as a male.
1. The title of this thread suggests that it is meaning the Christian god, God. Not all types of god.
2. Because of this, and the fact the God is always referred to as a he in typical protestant and Catholic Christianity.
3. Well, they say God got Mary up the duff so, well. How many women can do that? But then, I suppose it is
GOD
