Why is God Breasts?

If God's relationship with us is predominantly male in nature, and every priesthood will tell you that it is, why is his name Eil Shaddai? 'Eil' is the most holy name for God in the ancient Aramaic -- the Ineffable Most High -- and 'Shaddai' means breasts.

So he is the Ineffable Most High Breasts. I think we may be missing something. Maybe God's relationship with us should be characterized as being predominantly female in nature. At least as perceived by us. Although God is beyond gender, he created Man his image male and female. The Bible enjoins us to call him Abba, Dad. Perhaps we might as well call him Mom.

Please take the time to listen to Bede Griffiths. I just remembered him as I thought about this subject. He thought he was dying, and he heard, "Surrender to the mother." He did as one "surrenders," and was overwhelmed by waves of love. I can think of worse things to go through.

 The Father is also God the Mother, is he not?
