archbishop of canterbury sez god is gender-neutral

'gender neutral' is how this is being reported - but it's an over simplification

He was responding to someone contending that God is a woman:

Quote:

Justin Welby has rejected Ariana Grande’s suggestion that God is a woman. God, he says, is not male or female

...

“God is not male or female,” the archbishop said in a lecture at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London. “God is not definable. All human language about God is inadequate and to some degree metaphorical.”

...

“God transcends the human distinction between the sexes,” says the Catholic church catechism of 1993. “He is neither man nor woman: He is God.”

God is omnipotent, capable of boinking anyone at will, summoning any equipment required. Boinked me a few times.
