God is God, no matter what we call Him.<br /><br />Not a perfect analogy, but with a little imagination, this works for me:<br /><br /><i>'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;<br /> Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.<br /> What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,<br /> Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part<br /> Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!<br /> What's in a name? that which we call a rose<br /> By any other name would smell as sweet;<br /> So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,<br /> Retain that dear perfection which he owes<br /> Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,<br /> And for that name which is no part of thee<br /> Take all myself.</i>Jannoreply@blogger.com
