"G-d doesn't have form. Or shape. Or smell. Or an email address." Who are we to say things like that.

C. S. Lewis had interesting ways to talk about some of these things; when writing about G-d's gender, for example, he argued that G-d is not masculine or feminine, but beyond gender and personality; having infinite more of these things than the humans, not less.

But in the end, language will always fail us.
