A simple question for theists

[Kernel Sohcahtoa]

Again, I trust the God that I believe is real. The God that is Himself goodness and love, and who created morality through establishing Natural Law in this world.

I've observed that "God that is himself goodness and love", was used in your post.  I've also observed other theists referring to god with words such as himself, he, him, or words that would seem to associate human masculinity with god.  Now out of curiosity, have you met other practitioners of Catholicism or Christianity who think of god as a woman or some other life-form?  To what degree do religious practitioners project human-like qualities onto their deity? Does your deity assume human-like qualities in order to make it easier for humanity's theists to relate to it and accept it. 

Also, is it more accurate to use more neutral descriptors for god, and do you have any suggestions?  With that said, thanks for your thoughtful and well-written posts, CL.
