Just to make mention of the He/She God persona
I went to a Baptist Bible College and took a number of doctrines classes. From what I understand the names given to God in the Bible are more gender neutral. Jehovah and some other Hebrew and Greek names for God don't express any gender at all. The choice of He over She was made when the Bible was first translated and the term "HE" held authority in the home and government in that time period so it was the natural term to use. If you really find it necessary to debate this subject I can find you some sources when I visit my in-laws. That's where my Doctrines books are stored.
Technically God is genderless so whether we use a male or female name does not matter much in the grand scheme of things.
