LOL @ Bad Attitude:
"Father" is too complex a word to be associated with one simple sound, except maybe "No!" :-)
Also, nice to hear when someone finally breaks free of the guilt and terror of the JW Sky Daddy.
Thanks also to James-Woods, OTWO and Terry for your further insights.
And finally to Z. Thanks for providing that article with a Jewish perspective. Interesting website as well. I especially like the name "Jews for Judaism".

I was reading a book on Hermenutics yesterday. (I work in a bookstore in the religion/philosophy section).
One way of testing the equivalency of two differing words is to substitute one for the other in many passages and see how smoothly it reads and note whether or not it clarifies more than obscures.
Try this: every scripture that uses the word: NAME (in connection with the Supreme Being) substitute: REPUTATION.
I find that it shines a lot of light.
Just food for thought..........
