Jim & Tim: In writing this post I was aware that the Old Testament god is called Yahweh. I also realized that I was going out on a limb by ignoring that and suggesting that the god of Christianity is nameless. I was also aware that someone would probably call me on it as you both did. The point of my post is simply to draw attention to what I think is the absurdity of calling the Christian god God.
Both of your comments lead to further questions: Does the god of the New Testament have a name? Is he a different god than Yahweh? Are there two Christian gods, Yahweh and God?
