Re: Is god a man, a women, both or... neither?
Gender is such a crucial aspect to humanity that to deny it would be to deny an obvious truth of our existence. Of one thing I am almost certain - if you deny the smaller truths because they may be contentious or confusing then you can never move on to understand greater truths.
It is also foundational to our understanding of any God that aspects such as masculine/feminine came from somewhere and with some reason - perhaps that God (and therefore the Universe) has always had the inherent duality, perhaps that God intentionally chose to create mankind or this Universe with these dualities, perhaps that it was an accident or mistake that we are all called to clean up after .... who knows! To deny that you experience something which you do experience is not a path to enlightenment.
If we acknowledge that we experience masculine and feminine aspects in our lives then we can do nothing other than to accept that and seek to understand it's nature.
At the same, there are those content with their understanding and those seeking further understanding to reach a state of contentment.
I don't think the path will be the same for all people.
