Does God have a gender?

Results | Messages
In the Holy Bible, God is always referred to in the masculine singular, with a capital letter - He. In the religion Islam, there is no feminine for Allah, their word for God. Does this mean that God is male? Or is it male-dominated human society which has created this datum? Would God be angry to be called "She"? Give your opinions here.

3. Is it wrong to speak of God as She?
Yes, it's totally wrong. God is male, and would be furiously angry
Yes, it's wrong. God is quite simply male
It's somewhat wrong, because it sounds wrong
It's not wrong to describe God as <i>She</i>, but it sounds strange
It's OK to describe God as <i>She</i>, I guess
It's perfectly acceptable to address God in the feminine form
On the contrary, it's 100% correct. When God created men, She was only joking!

Mostly female
All female
All both male and female
All neither male nor female
