20 Words for God

The Eskimos have 20 words for God, and not useless ones like ours (God, Deity, Allah, Yahweh, I AM, Christ, Jesus, Lord, Savior, Almighty, Redeemer, Holy Spirit), but words that distinguish the many different things we mean when we say God. Today on my drive home I was struck by the beauty of the fall colors muted by the post-rain twilight. I saw God, by which I mean I saw God through His creation, which includes Man's creation. After all, I couldn't see the colors if Man had not cut a swath right through it. And the beauty included everything, every building, even my own car and my own self. All was God. So this God entails not just beauty, but belonging and peace. I suppose there's another word for the 60-foot high bearded fellow in a cloud tunic. Then there's the God is love God, and then there's the God is strings string-theory God (hell yeah, Inuits dig string theory). Then there's the everything has a reason, we just can't see it yet God. What a load of crap He is. Then there's the Divine Watchmaker, of course. That leaves about a dozen or so more. I'll get to them later.
