Bring out those pronouns boyettes, god is not a filthy male after all. It/her/she needs a new monicker.

"God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day."

At first glance, there's nothing controversial about this passage, which many will recognise as Genesis 1:5 from the Bible's Old Testament.

It is, however, the first time that the Bible refers to God as "he".

The use of exclusively masculine language to refer to God is a point of contention for many Christians, including Dr Dorothy Lee, an Anglican priest and Steward Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity College Theological School in the University of Divinity.

Dr Lee says using he/him to refer to God is an "unthinking hangover" from a past where the patriarchy was unquestioned.

While "in some cases, it might be a stubborn insistence that that’s the way the Bible speaks … no Christian could ever claim that God is male," she says.

"The Bible is quite clear … that both male and female are made in God’s image and that God transcends gender."

If there was a god, they could be whatever they wanted to be, at any time.
