If God had a name, what would it be and would you call it to his face? If you were faced with him in all his glory, what would you ask if you had just one question

He does have a name, Yahweh. And yes, I use it when I talk to him.
Just one question...that he had to answer? The point. The point behind everything. And if he honesly replies some shit like 'it's my will' or the like, I'll be sorely disapointed.

If God had a name,
What would it be,
and would you call it to his face,
If you were faced with him,
In all His glory,
What would you ask if you had just one question...
Yeah, yeah, God is great...
Yeah, yeah, God is good...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah
What if God was one of us...
Just a slob like one of us...
Just a stranger on the bus,
Tryin' to make his way home...
If God had a face...
What would it look like
And would you wanna' see...
If seeing meant that you would have to believe...
In things like heaven
And in Jesus and the Saints and all the prophets...
Yeah, yeah, God is great...
Yeah, yeah, God is good...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah...
What if God was one of us...
Just a slob like one of us...
Just a stranger on the bus,
Tryin' to make his way home...
Just like a Holy rollin' stone...
Back up in Heaven all alone...
Nobody calls Him on the phone...

You're not supposed to be able to pronounce his name. You substitute "Adonai" in place of Yahweh everytime you come across it.

I wouldn't call God anything to God's face, no. I don't think I could.
I'd ask God what I have to do to get into Heaven, if at all possible. I'm selfish like that.

I understand it...I just don't think God is that petty. And quite frankly, when the shit comes down and I have to hold my actions before Him for judgement...I don't feel that my 'sins' outweigh my attempts to live a responsible honest life. Of course, that's up to Him to judge...but we do our best.

Assuming He is around, or that He cares about our sorry arses enough to do something about it, He sure didn't write that text nor direct anyone to write it.
One of the world's enduring tragedies is that people have thought He did, for thousands of years.

Also, since our dating techniques are so primitive that people are convinced we evolved from monkeys (HA! silly monkeys), for all we know the books could have been written in May, 1995. Unless the dating techniques are only inaccurate when it comes to fossils and not divine novels... that would rock.

Now you're being silly. The books couldn't have been written in 1995, because there are eyewitnesses to the book's existence prior to that date.

There's also admissible evidence of the bible having been written prior to 1903.
People in court swear on the bible. There are official transcripts of court proceedings from 1903 and even farther back. Court transcripts are admissible evidence.
Therefore, we have proof the bible is older than 1903 and, therefore, that you're still being silly.
Why, oh why, must you people screw up BSAMS' deep thoughts with your nonsense?

No it's not a rule out of politeness, from what I learned from my World Mythologies class the word just can't be pronounced by the human tounge.

That's not true. God was addressed by name by both Adam and Moses. It was not a matter of politeness, but rather a needless tradition.
As to the exact pronounciation, it is true that we have most likely forgotten it. That is not to say that it was never known and used though.
You may be thinking of the tetragramitan (sp?) which I can't reproduce here (it looks like 'NIN' though). It was a symbol for God's name, but has no known pronunciation. Of course, there may very well have been one at one point...

I've rephrased. I meant "already written in 1903" or "written prior to 1903."

I read the whole "god's name can't be written" was by early jewish church leaders who felt that any writing of god's name could be damaged or destroyed which would be an afront to god (the muslim's still hold this belief).

What you're refering to is the Tetragrammeton a four letter word with no vowels YHWH sometimes written generally as JHYH with variations of JHVH or YHVH. Pronounces as Yahweh and by some as Jehova. It's not that the word can't be pronounced, but as any word written 5000 years ago without vowels there is a debate over what teh correct pronunciation is. That isn't to say that there is anything wrong with calling God by name regardless of wether the pronounciation is perfect.
