I did it because my sister has a boyfriend who professed to being atheist. However, I think it is really because the ineffable, nameless cannot really be named. The Hassidic jews use the name "Hashem" which translates to "The Name". Good question! I'll ask around. Mireya may know.<BR/><BR/>all the best,<BR/>Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055473677861147084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368389521151757486.post-32117055578151031452008-02-03T19:35:00.000-05:002008-02-03T19:35:00.000-05:00Hey Nancy,I saw Purlie Victorious off Broadway in ...Hey Nancy,<BR/><BR/>I saw Purlie Victorious off Broadway in the 1990s, don't remember it, however I'm sure I was moved.<BR/><BR/>If the church would have me, I'd be a priest. Maybe I'll study to be an Interfaith minister when I'm in my 60s or 70s.<BR/><BR/>Faith makes the world go round, and all kinds of faith make the world.<BR/><BR/>By the way, could you tell me why a lot of people use the hyphen instead of the "o" when they write the word "G-d?" Is there some reason "God" isn't seen as a generic term itself?<BR/><BR/>I always wondered that.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560921880307596033noreply@blogger.com
