The word religious is a very loaded word.
Well then why aren't you speaking Hebrew, you are using the word God, that's not Hebrew!! Arabs speaking Arabic use the word Allah for God. Arabs have just as much right to speak Arabic instead of Hebrew as you have to speak English instead of Hebrew. Remember you're the one accusing all Arabs, be they Christian, Jewish or Muslim of worshiping a false God.

Arabic has capital letters?
When written in English it does, I can't speak for Arabic, learned the Alphabet once, can't even remember if their were capitals or not.
Pegg it seemed was trying to distinguish the capital letter God of her Christianity from the small letter god of Arab people, which is incorrect, all the Muslims I see on this forum capitalize God and Allah when writing in English. Small letter god generally means a deity as opposed a supreme being which would be capitalized God.

This post "quotes" from something attributed to me that I did not say and it links to a post of mine which doesn't say what the quoted portion has. I don't know why this is.

I'm not telling people to stop speaking their language. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm telling people to not use the names of false gods in substitute for the one True God Yahuah.
Yes you are, you're telling them they can't use the name Of God in their language, and they should worship a god you call Yahuah, a god I have never ever heard of in any language. If you mean Yeshua, another false god, never called himself a god, and yet millions of people think he is God, when he commonly referred to himself as the Son of Man

Okay, again I'm telling people to use the correct name if that is what they are referring to. If they want to worship the false god Allah, so be it!
Correct Yesuah is a false god, it means the one who cries.
However Yahuah is ancient Hebrew. Which is in the ancient texts of the original scripts
If you are referring to the tetragrammaton, some people call Yahweh, then yes in Arabic, whether you're Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, it is translated as Allah in their language, so if Allah is a false God, then your God Yahuah/Yahweh is false as well, because they are one and the same.

Why not El? he is my favorite, he is Yahweh's dad.
It's not about religion but about understanding the difference between the use of the word god as a common noun, and using the word to denote a specific name.

there just words, they mean nothing, don't get caught up in stupid labels.
Absolutely correct. I was quoting a different post by a different person - a post that no longer exists. I have absolutely no idea how it happened. Sorry.

Allah is from Al-Ilah, which simply means "The God". It isn't Muslim: Arabic-speaking Christians use it, and it was used to refer to the Supreme Being in Arabia centuries before Muhammad.
The Hebrew equivalent would be El, from Old Canaanite Ilu, which occasionally occurs in the Jewish scriptures, although it is usually replaced by the form Elohim.
Jehovah is a 16th century mistranscription of Yahweh. Although Jews stopped pronouncing that name early on, it was still pronounced by the Samaritans in Roman times, which is how we know the vowels to add to the written YHWH. Yahweh was originally the guardian angel of the Israelites, as it says in Deuteronomy 32:
Yahweh was only equated to El in the days of Hosea, if not as late as Isiah. Whether you consider the Jews to be worshiping El as a result, or not, is a moot point.
You could say, with Thomas Aquinas, that everyone who claims to be worshiping the Supreme Being is doing so, or though some may have a better concept than others. I'd say the question is how far the concept can get distorted before it becomes a different one. A man on a train may think he knows where he's going, but if he got on the wrong train, he's not going to get there.
