There's so many religions and there are so many "gods" nowadays... what do you think God's name is?  i'm curious to see.

let's try to stick to Christian names (don't get into Islam, Buddism, etc.) and also don't turn it into a religious discussion, ok?

if "other", post a post and say what you think it is...

i'm going to go with two 'names' that i've heard people use in the poll.  a "other", and a "God doesn't exist".   if another option seems to be pretty dominant then an admin can add it to the poll...

keep it clean, no flaming.  explain why if you wish

Kazan. :p

but honestly... I don't really believe in a god, and if I did, I don't think he'd have a name at all.

The same reason you have to be in a church for him to hear your prayers.

Assuming there was a god, he'd have every name and no name. The theoretical "God" created all things, but also inhabits and embodies all things. Call 'im the Tao, because it's the closest equivalent (Actually, it'd still be the Tao-without-a-name, since there's one that can be labeled and one that cannot)

How about the Om then? :D

Actually, I am inclined to go with Pythagoras and say that god's name is Prime Number. :nod:

If a name is requested the answer is always "bob"

All other answers are always "42"


Seriously thou ... Stryke's pretty much got it .

1: If he created all....why have a name hence he'd have first been alone among nothing.

2: Every religion "titles" and "Names" him differently.

My personal belive, religion and god are 100% thorughly and completely within one's own heart. What YOU believe is what YOU believe.  You don't need to be in a certain location or call him by a certain name, title, language etc etc for whatever you choose to believe in to be effective about your live.

Some ppl see religion as a community thing ... for me it's much more of a deeply personal thing....course then again I've studied and taken bits of many different believes from my birth religion of Roman Catholic , all the way down to Wiccan and such.

The core is it's all up to you.

"Om" means only perfection- it's not an embodied thing, or an entity of any sort, like "god" is, it's a concept. You're probably thinking Atman.

I'll go dig up my Greek-Hebrew interlinear....

*blows dust off Bible*

*looks up Lord or God in Genesis somewhere*

I'd say "Yaweh" or "Christos" ( :p take that) Ones Hebrew and the other Greek *Yaweh for God and Christos for "The Annointed One". * That's my opinion

Jehovah... yeah... that's what i thought to!

but if His name is Jehovah, then why do no pastors and priests call him Jehovah, they always call him "Lord" and/or "God".

also, what do Jehovah's Witnesses believe then?

Because Jehovah is the formal name of God.  Lord, God, and Father are informal names.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian Cult.

Yup. Says so in the bible. Though it's arguably Yeovah or something. But in the end it's only a minor variation.

Grrrrr.

Yeah, and Morons.....err...Mormons.
