The Bible is not the only holy writing that references God or a supreme being/entity/etc. Calling God "Him" is labeling God as "male" which is entirely consistent with the Christian perspective (or allows for consistency if choosing to use the Christian labeling paradigm). I was stating that doing so right after stating one doesn't want to label God is ironic. I was not challening the correctness of the statement; I was pointing out the contradiction in the 2 statements. MOO, YMMV.
