Why:
Because Indiana Jones said it himself!
And even he spelt it with an "I" instead of a "J"
Jehovah; Yahweh; Zeus; Jupiter; Ahura Mazda.....what is the difference?
Well here is what I don't understand. God is supposed to be genderless as are the angels. But whenever they talk about them in the bible they use the male terminology. Not surprising since it was all conceived of by the patriarchy.
That angry bearded white male god is one big reason I am no longer a JW today.
Why not Artemis, Astarte, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianhod, Isis, or Brede, just to name a few?
Oh well, I guess thats another topic in itself... **heavy sigh**
