god, a woman???, what do you think? Options

in speech class today, we learned about people getting offended when someone would say something like "POLICE MAN OR FIREMAN OR BUSBOY, etc. and one other thing she mentioned was god. apparently, women were getting upset because the bible called god a man. so they are now changing some bibles to make the word "HE" (referring to god) to "HE/SHE". what do you think about that?

yea,that bugged me too.I went to a Catholic school for 9 years and I was taught religon class on a daily basis.All my life I've heard god be referred to as a he and it kinda pissed me off.I mean,making god a sex,age,or ethnicity is kinda saying,'well this age/sex/ethnicity is superior'.And whenever I asked about it,they were like "well,god really is both",but then if that's true why is god constantley being referred to as "Father","He",ect.,That's one of the reasons why I converted to Buddhism.Cuz in Buddhism,it's like a personal god.I mean,it doesn't have a race or a gender or an age.It doesn't even have a name.It's kinda left up to you.

I'm not really sure if they should be altering the Bible though.It's a peace of literary artwork and altering it would be disrespectful.That oes for any artwork.And it's soooo old,so it's like wrong to change it now.
