Or Chthulu or the Flying Spaghetti Monster or JR "Bob" Dobbs. Then it's blasphemy, as they only want names that reinforce their base assumptions about which god or general faith tradition they descend from.

So it goes.

You forgot my favourite, El shaddai. The point is i am not you, we have different names. No two people have the same name and exact same identity. Even twins. One God is not the other, and each of them if all were real would of told you this. Look at the theological and technical smallprint to each. The truth will come if you look for it. This is what makes us different from animals. They can look alike, be alike and be called the exact same name. This shows we have an intelligent creator who knows everything and can do anything.
