God's Name

Is God Jewish, keeping kosher and laying down the Law? [Though the Israelite name was unpronounceable--no vowels, because what human can truly speak the name of God....] Is God a Roman Catholic, with an army of saints behind him? Or maybe He's a Mennonite, plainly dressed and plainly spoken? Could God be a fiery Baptist, reminding us that hell's torment is as real as heaven's joy? Might He be an Episcopalian, soft-spoken, and all so polite? [Though in England He would say He's an Anglican, and have a classy British accent...] Perhaps God is a Hindu, manifesting in 33 million ways, or maybe He likes to be called Allah in the desert places? What does it matter what God's name is, so long as you seek Him, and know you are not God...?
