ORIGIN OF GOD
- Middle English from Old English gheu(ə)- in Indo-European roots
From American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition
- From Middle English, from Old English god (“deity”) (akin to Old High German got (a rank of deity)), originally neuter, then changed to masculine to reflect the change in religion to Christianity, both from the Proto-Germanic *gudą(compare Dutch god, German Gott, Danish gud), from the Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰuto- (“invoked (one)”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰewH- (“to call, to invoke”) or *ǵʰew- (“to pour”). Not related to the word good.
From Wiktionary
Also, proto-indo-european makes me think of pie. :-)
invoked One. Like Joe Pesci! invoke the woke, it is spoken.
From a RANK of deity (thought I smelled something, ha.)
The pronunciation has god pronounced 3 ways:
a. with a v over the o
b. with an upside down v over the o
c. with 2 dots over the o (dieresis)

(pr and 4-o and SS and Eminem and jail (JL) and A and E)
this list incorporates the definitions of "a perfectly good, powerful, and wise being", and the 4 omni's (omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, omnibenevolent). It makes conversation about the existence of God confusing. Who's going to spout 28 adjectives in a defense or attack on the existence of God!? A blog becomes necessary, perhaps.
a (15 points, by my count) definition of God (according to Westminster catechisms) is also
"an eternal infinite unchangeable spirit" who "exists, is wise, powerful, holy, just, good, and true." Plus, "all-sufficient. everywhere. knows all things. incomprehensible."
Is this possible for One being? Or even a hive-mind of all beings?
Personally, I don't think so. Infinity or infinite, (eternal and everywhere) can't describe a being. Unless we're talking about Reality itself as somehow conscious/consciousness. Sentient spacetime. (Although you can play with infinity as getting progressively smaller, instead of bigger: contained in a nutshell, so to speak, or a genie's lamp, or a skull). There's only one infinity, though, and it's BIG, lol.
And it's not only you. My theology may be narcissist (even solipsist), but God is love, and love is better when it's not just yourself, I think! But loving yourself is a good place to start. Narcissism: admiration of oneself... Solipsism: the theory that the self is all that can be known to exist. I think, therefore I AM. who? am.
aseity is solipsist, lol. there's something to teach your children!
aseity, deity, and de-itty (bitty), d-itty (a small amount of devil)
Did I say enough? or too much?
