Shall we scrap all masculine references to God?

Misanthropic Humanitarian posts at Ace of Spades,
“Most mainline Protestant churches are, to one degree or another, post-Christian. If they no longer seem disposed to converting the unbelieving to Christ, they can at least convert them to the boggiest of soft-left clichés, on the grounds that if Jesus were alive today he’d most likely be a gay Anglican bishop in a committed relationship driving around in an environmentally friendly car with an “Arms are for Hugging” sticker on the way to an interfaith dialogue with a Wiccan and a couple of Wahhabi imams.”
― Mark Steyn

Failing to study Greek and Hebrew Swedish religious muckity-mucks continue to drag Christianity into the depths of political correctness. The Swedes want to be inclusive.
The Church of Sweden has voted to adopt a controversial new handbook which says masculine references to God, such as “He” and “Lord” should be scrapped so as to be more “inclusive”.
Despite heavy criticism from organisations including Royal Swedish Academy, on Thursday the church approved the new handbook with a large majority.
I guess the "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:24) was a mistake on His part.
