"I can not tell you that name for it would be a Sin!"
Claim all you want that I'm manufacturing facts. pronoun: 1. The part of speech that substitutes for nouns or noun phrases and designates persons or things asked for, previously specified, or understood from the context. So, if "God" is a pronoun, then you can identify the noun (God's Name). So... Because I won't use the name, that means you can say that the name is anything you want? No. You made a statement that "God" is NOT the name of the god of the Christians. Fine. Then tell me what the name of the god of the Christians is. Now, you fail to comply with this request. My position is that you failed because I was correct and "God" is the name of the god of the Christians. You claim that you are refusing to comply based upon religious restrictions. ahahhahahahahahhahahahah ahahhaahahahahahahhahahah ahahahahahahahahhahahaha hahahahahahhahahahahhahah ahhahahahahhahahahhahahha hahahhahahahahhahhahahha etc. Allah is to Muslims as ________ is to Christians.

I did identify it.
I pointed to where it can be found.
If you can't be troubled to look, then that hardly invalidates my statement.
But then, logic is hardly your strong point, is it?

I asked you to post it. Can you understand "post it"?
"It can be found written in a book, locked in a box, buriend in a cave, guarded by three dragons on an island in a remote sea." There. I've told you where it can be found. If you can't be troubled to look, then that hardly invalidates my statement. Actually, it does. Instead of posting the name of the god of the Christians, you are saying that I should go look for it. That invalidates your position. You have lost the debate. Whether your religion will allow you to accept this or not is your problem. But then, logic is hardly your strong point, is it? You can't post the name of the god of the Christians because it would be a Sin and you're saying that >I< have a problem with "logic"? hahahahahahhahahahahahaha hahahahahhahahahahahahahha ahahahhahahahahahahahahhaha ahhahahahahahhahahahhahahaha

Ok. Insist on 'winning' this 'debate'.
Anyone who reads this thread, who has ever actually read the Bible, knows how completely incorrect your arguments are.
The name of the Christian God is not "God". I know the name - the fact that you refuse to look where I point does not invalidate that fact - any more than your refusal to look up a constant that I (for whatever reason) refused to quote from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics would enable you to set the value of the said constant. Well, you can use whatever fantasy-land value you wanted, I guess. You'd just get fantasy-land results.
Like you did in this case.

How many chances do you want?
Anyone who reads this thread, who has ever actually read the Bible, knows how completely incorrect your arguments are. Yes. ANYONE who has ever read the Bible knows that I'm incorrect. Except I've read the Bible. Whoa! You "logic" just collapsed there. The name of the Christian God is not "God". I know the name....... But you can't tell me because it's a "sin". Nor can you refer me to a chapter and verse. ... - the fact that you refuse to look where I point does not invalidate that fact - any more than your refusal to look up a constant that I (for whatever reason) refused to quote from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics would enable you to set the value of the said constant. And the reason you wouldn't state what a constant was would be......? I'm hoping you won't say "because it's a sin". Well, you can use whatever fantasy-land value you wanted, I guess. You'd just get fantasy-land results. Ummm, you do realize you've just transposed chemistry and religion. Maybe you would consider it a "sin" to reveal the constant. Chemistry class must have been VERY interesting for you.

You have read the Bible?
Then you have read the name of God, haven't you. Oh, yeah. You know it's not spelled G-o-d, too. Exodus 20 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Hmm. The LORD thy God. Sure doesn't seem to be used as a proper noun there.

So the name of God is "Lord"?
From that paragraph you quoted, there seem to be only two options.
#1. Lord
#2. God
Which is it?
Or is that a "sin" also?

Note.
The LORD
A title.
thy God.
A pronoun.
Note the capitalization of the pronoun.

thy servant, thy hand, thy words. NOT A PRONOUN!
All taken from your holy book. No. "thy God" is NOT a pronoun". No more than servant or hand or word is a pronoun. It is a NOUN! thy God.
A pronoun. No. That is what is called a "noun". Look it up.

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?
