(...) "There is no god but Allah." Same God, by the way. Anyway, the question is whether God has a name for God, not whether we have a name for God. I suppose if God invented Aramaic or Arabic, that could be debated (scratching head and pondering (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Yes, you could say either of those things, but they wouldn't be accurate (except insofar as 'Lego' is a noun in the vernacular(1)). There is no product called "LEGO".

(...) Who knows?? But God (if it exists) probably has another "entity" that it looks up to, and chances are it's not called "God". Of course, this assumes that "looks" and "up" actually have some kind of meaning in God's environment... ROSCO (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
