Quote:
The new form of worship, which removes words such as "Lord, he, his, him" and "mankind" from services, has been written by the church in an attempt to acknowledge that God is "beyond human gender".

Episcopalian bishops have approved the introduction of more "inclusive" language, which deliberately removes references suggesting that God is of male gender. Traditionalists have criticised the changes on the grounds that they smack of political correctness and because they believe they are not consistent with the teachings of the Bible. The alterations have been made to provide an alternative to the established 1982 Liturgy, which, like the Bible, refers to God as a man.


Quote:
Direct quotations from the Bible have been spared change, because of a reluctance to interfere with the word of God. However, the blessing at the end of services has been changed by some ministers from "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" to "Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier".


damn political correctness to hell.

The Holy Spirit sounds like Caspar the Ghost to me.
Now "The Sanctifier" on the other hand, sounds totally bad-ass. That would be a good wrestling name, for example.

I don't think this is political correctness at all. It makes more sense to me than anything. Of course many pagan religions are polytheistic believing in a god and goddess.

God likely isn't human, anyways.

I understand how the idea of a friendly old man comforts people, but the true meaning behind existence is so much more than anything man could convey in a book of symbols designed to convey ideas in a way the mind can understand.

I think what you find with the concept of God being like a man, rather than a woman, harkens back to the family setup in the Jewish life. God's relationship with His people could best be compared to a father's relationship to his family. Ergo, God gets deemed a male. It's not like he has a Y chromosome or male genitalia. It's simply a way to instill in their minds the relationship they shared.
