Dan goes on to look at how our view of God and the Holy Spirit tends to suffer from similar extreme views. Well worth a read, full post here [...] [...] Dan Edelen over at Cerulean Sanctum has a great post up about how most issues within the body exist due to how far we lean toward either “the drill sergeant” Jesus (tough, vengeful, violent, etc) or “the flower child” Jesus (all love, crying, touchy / feely) and how by leaning one way or the other we miss the real Jesus.

Which gives me a better understanding of God — thinking of the Holy Spirit as a man or a woman? I do agree with "faith [is] that point where we have to admit both cases are true" although I would say it's more of a spectrum, i.e. the full range from one to the other. There are more colors than just black and white. Isn’t the use of “it” more of a reflection on the inadequacy of the English language in that it does not have a gender-neutral pronoun?
