is God a dude or a chick?

To claim God as specifically male or female would be to put human limitations on "Him". God is asexual in that "He" is above (not limited by) gender. I suppose that out of our tradition...and out of our personal experience we cannot help but relate to God by masculine pronouns. In the Genesis 1 account, God said "Let 'Us' make man in 'Our' image...male and female...". If anything, this looks like God emphasizing unity...oneness...as Adam and Eve are created in the image of the Trinity. Maybe this is more of the point than what alikeness' and differences were there...and what the gender God is most like.
