There's something in that bible that says something along the lines of:
He is the Father, who will protect you, and be there for you in times of Peril.
He is the Mother, who holds you in His arms, who cradles you and Comforts you.
The Bible uses the word 'He' and 'Father,' to describe it. However, the idea of God is mostly an emotion; a feeling. As such; they needed something to call it, and it became Father, which is male. However, many texts in the bible also show a female side. Both in the damnation part and the love part, God is mentioned with both male and female archetypes.
For instance; abovesaid, about the Father and Mother, fall into the Love category.
For the damnation:
Archetypically, the destruction of cities, peoples and the like are male. Instant destruction, and power. But the sending of plagues, and condemnation to Hell, are female, archetypically. (vengeance is archetypically female. Women are generally a lot better at hurting people than men. Men are generally a lot better at taking out someone fast than females. Both are on the 'evil' side of the spectrum, though.)
So basically, God is a hermaphrodite.
