Them northern europeans sure are good at preserving vegetables. Something about the climate. I had an Austrian girlfriend once and always noticd that when she cooked, there were never fresh vegetables. Even at 14, though, I knew better than to say anything.

Certainly you do not wish to side with the French against the German in an argument . . . unless there is an American nearby. . . .

I think there are already lots of Christians that worship "got" or his lesser personality "get".

Evidence: Christian fish on the back of $60K Lexii.

Gott ist gut. Especially to those that get lots of goods.

Dieu in French?

Spanish is Dios. (dee-ose)

Could be worse. The russians call him Bog.

Actually, that's fairly apt, innit....

The question is, does God mind people calling him Bog.

Does he sit in heaven, fashioning an extra large asteroid and saying to the Holy Spirit: "If one more damn Russian calls be Bog, that's it. Russia's gone."

The Holy Spirit, which is washing up, puts down the soapy cup it's scrubbing, trying to get the Heavenly tea stains off , and says "Hang on, Before you do something rash, just think back a bit. Remember the Tower of Babel? Remember what you did? How you confounded their speech? If it wasn't for that, everyone would be calling you Yahweh."

At that moment God's hand slips and he gives himself a nasty jab: "Christ! "

"Yes dad?"

"What?"

"You called?"

"No no. I was simply making an ejaculation."

"You mean like you did in Mary?"

"Holy Spirit, for God's sake do something about him will you? He drives me nuts, reminding me of that. I mean like, hey, she was a nice looking babe. And stacked...wow!"

The Holy Spirit empties the washing up bowl and turns, "Look, your dad and me were just having a little discussion. He doesn't like the Russians calling him Bog."

Christ pouts: "It just really gets to me, the way every time he stabs himself, drops something, stubs his toe, loses a game of Chess he says Christ! And every time I come running 'cause I think he wants me for something. Can you tell him not to take my name in vain. I mean, humans aren't allowed to."

God hurls the half-finished asteroid at a passing cherubim: "WHAT! It's MY name they're not allowed to take in vain, you stupid bas...."

Christ is really angry now. "Don't you dare say it. Just don't you dare!"

The Holy Spirit pours some of itself into a couple of glasses. "Let's just calm down, shall we? Here, let's say sorry and make a toast."

They clink glasses. God says: "Two the three of us!" And mutters, "But those Russians better not think this is over. Bog indeed! " and he begins fashioning a new asteroid - even bigger than the last.

And, if I remember correctly, Bog is worshipped in a cirkus.

HaysooChreesto!

The universal name for everyone's deity should simply be changed to "Dutch".

Dutch is the guy who can fix your car, win every bar fight, loan you a couple hundred bucks when you need it. Dutch lets you crash at his place when your old lady's mad at you, he rides dirtbikes and streetbikes.
Dutch is the guy who you just missed. "Oh yeah, Dutch? He was just here but he had to go help Clyde fix his bike".
Dutch plays poker and hosts late night poker games. He's a hard drinker but a good guy. Dutch has a cool old lady too.

Dutch didn't go to college but he owns the biggest frat house on campus and can discuss politics, philosophy, and lawn maintenance at the same time.

Dutch is the best. Every god should be called Dutch.

But, Boro Nut, the thing is most Germans don't believe in any Gott or Himmel or Hölle. We don't care. So, I say we ARE right: There is no Gott. Only barbecues and dancing on saturday evening. And plenty of gifts at christmas.

Plus, what's to say against sausages and sauerkraut? It's Ambrosia, says I!
