I was driving this afternoon and it hit me like the proverbial lightning bolt - Why God has so many names.

God. Jehovah. Yahweh. Krishna. Great Spirit. Lord of lords. Holy Ghost. Jesus - and on and on. 3,000 or so of them names.

Here's why. THESE ARE ALL FACEBOOK SCREEN NAMES.

Now if he went by one name, people would be bustin' his balls all day long... "Make me win the lottery. Help me get laid tonight (I've used that one quite a lot but it doesn't help). Kill all infidels. Help me pass my math test."

Using different Facebook screen names takes the pressure off. He makes up a screen name, posts a thought under it. A week or two later, a new screen name (along with a request to send money. Jesus is always broke).

I hear, Charlie Kirk is this week's entry.

So now ya learned something new.

You're welcome.
