So, what do you *call* Him? What letter is he filed under,..

...in the filing cabinet in your head?

And if *you*, SkippyJoe, don't call him "God" -- which I very very much doubt, though -- then would you at least be prepared to join me in thinking that the absolute majority of Americans, as opposed to you personally, *do* think of their god as "God"? (Wanna bet most of them don't even *know* his "real" name?)

And if the fact that most people (as in, pretty much everybody), in the USA of the year 2002, *call* the Christian god "God", if that doesn't mean that IN PRACTICE his "name" _I_S_ "God", then I don't fucking know what it's supposed to mean.

You got any better hypotheses as to what it means?
