C'mon, Nerd, I specifically asked for no grammatical rationalizations.

How about this:
" …1 Samuel 28:13. The witch of Endor tells Saul that she sees 'gods' (elohim) coming up out of the earth; this seems to indicate that the term was indeed used simply to mean something like 'divine beings' in ancient Israel."

The way I heard it "El" or "Eloh" or "Eloah" is grammatically feminine, although "-im" is a masculine suffix.

I think there's no doubt that Elohim is plural, though. The "majestic plural" was doubtless devised by monotheistic revisionists.

On the other hand, I don't know any Hebrew; it's all hearsay to me. Just wanted to needle Mr Gibson a little.
