A Catholic woman I used to work with said her "Priest" told her that she could think of God as female if she wanted.

In all probability, God sports neither a penis nor a vagina...to establish a sex attributed to God is nonsense....we refer to God the Father so that humanity can have some conception of God as someone we can relate to. An ond, bearded white man on a throne with a bunch of angels floating aronnd is, of course, an artists conception of God. The priest, of course, should have used better judgement....but thinking of God as a female is no worse nor better that thinking of God as an old white guy.

I call him Father because his only begotten son calls him Father.

Who is the “We?”

>>to establish a sex attributed to God is nonsense<<

Psalm 100:3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

"our Father which art in heaven"

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.
