It is plain to the servants of God, that America is taking a blood bath in Iraq because America is busily persecuting WBC for preaching the Word of God to this evil nation of perverts. God hates America. Her end is near, and approaching fast.
God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part.  God alone exists truly. Man manifests Him in time, space and matter. ~ Leo Tolstoy Is it not better to place a question mark upon a problem while seeking an answer than to put the label "God" there and consider the matter solved? Does not the word "God" only confuse and make more difficult the solution by assuming a conclusion that is utterly groundless and palpably absurd?
The word God continues Old English/Germanic god (guþ, gudis in Gothic, Gott in modern German). The original meaning and etymology of the Germanic word god have been hotly disputed, though most agree to a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *ǵhutóm, which is a passive perfect participle from the root *ǵhu-, which likely meant "libation", "sacrifice". Compare:-
Allah [I]s the Arabic name of God, which is used by Muslims and ... by most non-Muslim Arabs. ilah, cognate to northwest Semitic El (Hebrew "El" or more specifically "Eloha", Aramaic "Eloi"), is the generic word for a god (any deity), Allah contains the Arabic definite article "Al", making the Name "Allah" literally mean "The One Worthy of Worship". When speaking in English, Muslims often translate "Allah" as "God". One Islamic tradition states that Allah has 99 names, or attributes, while others say that all good names belong to Allah. Similarly, in the Aramaic of Jesus, the word Alaha is used for the name of God.

The word “God” does not appear in the original Hebrew or Greek manuscripts of the Bible. “God” is an old English word which developed from an Indo-European word, meaning “that which is invoked,” which is ... the ancestor of the German word Gott and the Danish “Gud,” both meaning “God.”
God with the capital "G" is the Christian word most commonly used to refer to YHWH, who they believe is the highest, most perfect being. Without the capital "G", the word "god" means a deity who has supernatural powers. The name of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim god is YHWH, which can ... be written as "Yahweh", or "Jehovah".
