Last time I checked the definitions of Male vs Female, I believe this ficticious god thingy is inherently female. Gods as in greek/norse gods that run around bashing each other over the head, drinking too much and sleeping around with giants, but if they're doing that creation thingy, they're inherently female. Technically, the god things are asexual, or an it, unless there's two of course. The "it" pronoun seems to work fine. Most theists when you ask them enough questions end up boiling their belief down to "um, there's gotta be something". That counts as an IT, in my book. Al
