New name for God ?

If you are asked to give any NEW name to God, what will that be ?

Non believers are also welcome ! :)
I would go for "Sai Baba" if its about a practical and personal name to use in my prayers (more easy to pray with "feeling" ... God is too abstract)

I would go for "The Great Unknown" if its about naming God as being the Creator, because all this goes far beyond my imagination

He already have 99 names i could use to call him

I agree, the concept of God cannot be confined to one name.
Each person as many names, daughter, mother, sister, auntie - as well as professional names, manager, teacher and names to describe qualities - like musician, happy person, healthy, or even political and national names - American, GenXer, etc.

An infinite number of names, each person will use a different name.

you’re not really interested in God, or a new name for God

first clue: you dismissed Allah
And this is a "new" name for God, do you think? Perhaps you aren't really interested in certain things yourself. Like thinking. And if you actually are interested in it... maybe try some practice.

oh, such a kind and thoughtful response, or not

a thinking person understands that Allah IS a name of God,

possible exceptions, Islamaphobes and, by definition, NON thinkers

It can. Allah. Its just an arabic word, but it means "The God" as in "The deity". "The one deity/GOd".

It captures the whole concept of monotheism in one word.

Obviously it wasn't. Not sure why you're playing around here.

This was sort of my point. "Allah" should be dismissed immediately when considering a new name of God. It isn't new. It is old, and tired, and worn out, and entirely predictable by now.

"By definition?" What is this supposed to imply? That people who aren't Islamic aren't using their brains right out of the gate? Please. Give me a break. This probably ranks among the dumbest things I have read on this site - which is saying A LOT.

well at least it sounds like you’re aware that you are unkind

that would be a good start

Note that THIS^^ is what you decided to reply to - even though my reply contained other content - which you have not refuted, and so I will assume that my comments stand and that you are in agreement with them.

Or perhaps there is something to the fact that you decided not to reply to the actual meat of my post that you should become aware of as relates to yourself?

Yes, sometimes life makes us very much busy -- even we miss some very important friend, like you.

How are you ? :)

Yes I should be busy on other things sometimes when I am busy here.
I'm find, just had my birthday and realise I am getting old but that is OK.

you have drug this out so long, that I have no idea what you even said before, and I’m thinking your attitude makes me realize I couldn’t care less

but whatever you said, I’m sure you’re 100% correct
 
GoD as go and de means we went from god and return as love. no such leave when we return here again or return to god we already left.
