rabbis one is female and one is male and gay.

But, the more orthodox also define G-d as having different genders explained in a more conservative way from this article:

In classic Torah literature, G‑d is male, female, neither, and both.

It all comes down to G‑d being both here and beyond at once. Philosophers call that immanence and transcendence.

In the Prophets, Midrash, Kabbalah, and in our prayers, we distinguish these two modalities as feminine and masculine. An entire book of the Hebrew Bible, “Song of Songs,” is constructed around this paradigm, employing a metaphor of a woman and man struggling with the love between them.

When we refer to G‑d's presence within our world, within us, and within nature, then She is “the Shechinah.”


https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/987018/jewish/Should-We-Use-Gender-Neutral-Language-for-G-d.htm

There is a lot more in that article.

The Creator is beyond definition, beyond the confines of male or female - not a person in any way.
As mentioned in Torah - the proclamation to Moses "I am that I am."

The use of "He" is just a literary convention.

but this race isn't going to be about God's pronouns. It's going to be about if Texans want to reward Trump's wars, $5 gas, and runaway inflation.

Paxton is obviously a graduate of Trump’s school of name calling. What a POS.

Odious MAGA twits wont care but that’s not going to be enough. Paxton is extremely divisive. Roy Moore territory. That’s why Talarico has a good shot.

As for vegan, who on earth would care if a person was or wasn't? Certainly not as important as whether someone is a criminal or not.

to a vegan. the hatred is real. It's incredibly stupid, but it's real.

Anyhow, he's not a vegan in the first place, so the whole thing starts as a lie.

On the other hand, God most certainly has a massive dick, I'm sure.

candy-ass talking points because millions of voters are easily swayed by this nonsense. Hopefully, the steady & forceful response is that these playground-level taunts are a distraction from having no genuine platform.

I'm beginning to think Mr. Talerico will pull a Taylor Rehmet on Paxton and substance will outperform noise by a Texas mile. Paxton is noise and TX knows his flaws.
