Is God a Man?

Yashe: This chapter made me tear up, partly because my mother left when i was three and is still alive and around. Assigning the male gender to god potentially shapes how we, especially black christians, see all men. You said, in part, ungendering god also freed me from the idea god has favorites, and dad was one of them. And you ro for me, god's love makes the difference. What do i lose when i e god? I abandon the notion that there are some who are outside of god's identity and therefore god's love?"
