Quick question : in English, when talking about 'god', do we have to use 'it' or 'he'?
In portuguese, a unicorne = um unicórnio, and that's a male gender word.
You french peoples, always exchanging genders of things.... next, you'll want to make computer a female word, no?
About god, well, the female version would be goddess, so god defaults to male.
However, if there is only one, then gender becomes redundant, so we should apply the 'it'.
