I just like to get on people about the "him", "he" and "his" thing. I have some girl friends who get offended by it, but they are all Buddhists. 😆
Yes, I have an aunt that is Wiccan (*spelling) and she goes on a tirade when the term "he" is used. 😉
All the same, I believe God has a wife, this negates the stress over inequality, until they mention that she isn't discussed in the Bible. But then, we believe this is due to God's protective nature of her and us. I mean, if people were swearing by my wife's name I'd probably be hard pressed to not throw a few lightning bolts now and then, not to mention her feelings upon having that many children disrespecting her.

Really? I alway thought that the Holy Spirit was a feminine.

Well the supposed "Miracles" could be considered like that, and I believe the Bible says If God proved himself then there would be no belief
I believe the "proof destroys belief" clause as nothing more then attempt to justify the absence of God (either he just stays away or he doesn't exist at all)
And really, the Biblical miracles wouldn't really do much good in the black and white world - to far and few between. The Gods of Black & White had to take a really, really active part in the day to day lives of the peons. Hell, you even had to give them jobs and tell them to breed. And does the phrase "villagers neeeed food" ring a bell? I am only thankful the game didn't feature bowel movements for them. I can imagine the phrase "villagers need bottom's wiped" cropping up with suicidal regularity if it was included.
