The journal of Reform rabbis published an article this week
proclaiming that if the four-letter Hebrew name of God were spelled
backward and pronounced, it would sound like the Hebrew words for "he"
and "she."

Very interesting. Yep, I believe God's an androgyne. Mankind is supposed to have been created in his image. So, if he was just a guy, where'd he get the idea for women?

God is just a mixture of people's wants and beliefs...this being another example of that. Also, the inability to comprehend the world around them has always played a big role as well.

God is neither male nor female. God is a feeling that you have within your heart and soul. You either believe or you don't.

Your imaginary friend can be whatever you imagine them to be.
