I appreciate your concern, Ray. To be clear, I am not asking others to answer this for me. Rather, I am asking these questions, studying them by looking at what Scripture, Reason, Tradition and Experience have to say, and then inviting others into the learning process. This last piece is important both because what I learn might be helpful to others and because comments from others (like yours) will keep me from diverting too far from Tradition too quickly.

I am asking questions about God because that is what I am interested in at the moment. I want to know why we assume the gender roles we place on God (male or neuter) and why we don't assume others. I hope this becomes clearer as I continue to write.
