So God...

What about him?

Thats the problem. Its a fucking him. I hate that. I'm a man and I don't even want a man god. I want a GOD. The problem with Christianity is that we've coopted some bad habits from the Greeks. Our God is technically YHWH. Thats Yahweh to to the uninitiated. The term in and of itself means "to be" and thats our God. God is existence. God is the "is" inside of all verbs, and you can't 'verb' if you don't exist (hence the 'is').

See, Moses was asking for God's name at the burning bush because well, thats what we do. We ask for names. Names are powerful. If I used real names here ppl would be like "I KNOW THAT PERSON!" and then boom, an entirely new context. Thats why The Girl, is The Girl and not Jenna (fooled ya ;-). Back to God. See, Moses wanted God's name so that the Hebrews would know that he was truly sent by God. In short, Moses wanted a name, a concept, and a conjuring ability to 'channel' God (you see this later on with him hitting the rock instead of politely asking for water to spring forth. He wants to conjure. Why? B/c when you conjure, who holds the power, you or God?).

God gives him a verb. God gives him a real understanding of what it means to be God. God gives him existence. God is the 'Is.' My God is the big B, the thing unto which all other things be. That doesn't make God Pantheistic. God isn't 'everything' as much as God is the 'to be' unwhich all things be. God creates things unto themselves (this is why there is free will as opposed to us being puppets to God's will). Its panENthic.

Now, if only I knew what this grand existence meant for my life. I just want to know. Beer, you're not helping.
