SSA! i have a bigggg issue when people say that GOD is MALE, like he is everywhere, he is the supreme being, he, he, he, he, he ,he! OMG im going to go crazy! GOD is not a HE! or even a SHE! but still i know its maybe a short word but i mean it's only one more word, so just say GOD not he! WHenever someone refers god as "he" i always say SHE just to see their reaction, its funny somtimes! again im no feminist, im not preaching that women are better than men, im just saying its wrong to refer GOD as "he, him" ! and yes its wrong to refer god as "she" too!!! any comments?? have you people ever noticed this?!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would say.. when refering to the GOD.. the use of word he or him is pretty okay.. and there exist a word "GODDESS" for which she or her can/should be used. moreover, i will request to have broad approach on this issue.. With Kind Regards for you (ana all females) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 I don't like using HIM for god as well. As for Godesses? there aren't any in Sikhi. :shock: Mool Mantar sahib explains it every well, that God is neither He nor She. But its the limitation of the language that u have to gernderise ( is that a word ?) GOD. In punjabi i just call God , "Rab ji" or "Waheguru ji" and if u want propa peindu accent "Waaaaguru" , so no gender discrimination against HIM :? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Well I use Akal Purakh or Bhagauti alternatively. Akal Purakh is grammatically male and Bhagauti is female (means the "Lord-ess" feminine form of Bhagavant is Sanskrit). I tend to use He/She or (S)HE :roll: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
