It just seems ridiculous to talk about supreme creators and ultimate fundamental powers in terms of "he" and "him". I always use "it" myself; if nothing else I hope it rattles a few cages.
Ditto. I generally use "it" as well.
I've heard it claimed that the masculine usage is just for convenience and that god is sexless. If that's the case, why bother? "It" seems more suitable.
