That comment needs to go to the GAP to get its teeth fixed. 
No, you've missed the point. In Anita's posts the "-" stands in for "f".
And as we're all aware there is no f in god.
is that in the book? i wasn't inclined to read it.
Oh for...
Read my last sentence out loud. Then you might get the joke.
OH. heh, heh, heh. funny.
A custom. Developed by the Jews and transferred to some denominations.
Basic theory goes the Name of God is Soooo holy that to write it down or speak it does it some kind of disservice.
I totally disagree with this tradition.
Funny thing is that the Word "God" is not the actual name of God. God is what He is not his name. So the pasting that Jewish tradition onto the word God is nonsensical.
But i guess if someone wants to make a show of being more religious and devout then the next guy. Then that kind of stuff impresses those who are impressed by that kind of stuff.

How do you think Jews should read the second command from Sinai - without rendering it superfluous or fulfilled away?
Have you been chased to read it - by whom? Please feel free to make enlightening comments of what you are not inclined to read about. Just ell 'em Groucho sent you.
In my version the first letter in Genesis is 'B' - the second alphabet. This is a square with only the GO FORTH side open, looking left from right. I guess this is because there is no ONE in the universe.
We should treat the name of God with respect and only use it when we are talking to or about Him.
It's a step over the mark to tell people you cannot speak His name or write His name down. That in fact suppresses the name and takes it away from the people. If one cannot speak the name or write the name then how can one keep the name.
Keeping a name Holy is not keeping it hidden.

chased, no. just uninterested. i don't need a book to prove to me that god exists.
thank you adstar. imo, and i'm guessing it's yours too, god is most holy, but not superficial.
he put the whammy on me. iow, i've experienced it...via the spirit.
don't get me wrong, the bible has given me direction, but only when directed by the spirit, and interpreted by the spirit.
i actually don't understand at all, how someone could truly believe just because it's written in a book, or it's someone else's testimony, or there's some code described. those things might make some sense, and they may spark an interest, but you can't really KNOW god that way.
actually, if you look at what is in the bible, a large part of it are accounts of people hearing the voice of god, being moved and driven by the spirit, and faith in what they've experienced. most of the time against all odds, and contrary to the understanding and acceptance of those around them. i've experienced that.
whatever floats your boat Lori - although personally I'd give you or the individuals in question the credit for acheiving things against all odds - not some sky daddy.
but hey - it beats desperately trying to extract secret codes and messages from the pages of some dusty old book written by bronze age sister-fucking goat herders.
did you know they've found similar messages in the pages of moby dick?

well, all i did was sincerely want to know, and pretty much demanded proof that you just can't get from a book or some other person. :shrug:
