You can't say God's true name, it exists in an ineffable spiritual realm that transcends ordinary speech and spelling

It's actually pronounced "Jod"
the only way it's "Yahweh" is if it has some very special secret vowels because "יהוה" doesn't sound like that lol
- Isn’t that because ancient Hebrew used an abjad so they just didn’t write vowels at all
  
  It's still that way. I guess later some letters started indicating certain vowel sounds a bit more directly, but it's mostly little dots and lines that only get used to teach or are placed on text where ambiguity isn't acceptable.
YA GUEY PINCHE PENDEJO GUEY
- Visceral sound memory
  
  POR FAVOR
  
  poor kid, but that's all i can think of when people say Yahweh
- Memory unlocked.
  
  Explains a whole lot of this reality, its gueys all the way down to lowest hells and all the way up to the highest heavens. I look in the mirror I see a guey staring back at me, and all around me is guey. Next time I need to make sure I don't pick the guey universe just because it'd be funny, its not funny at all and its definitely not chill as expected.

I heard god's true name once and it sounded like a pig pooping on his own balls. I converted immediately after.

Skill issue. I can say it. I just don't say it. I'd be rude if I said it.
What are you talking about? "Ivanova" is an easy name to say.

God's real name is Gregory Gordon Godfrey and he lives on a plantation in Hawaii
In the early days, Yahweh was conceptualized as a jealous god among a pantheon. He was not the only god, just the aligned god of certain groups, contrasted to the competitors like Baal and preceded by those like El (later Elohim). Yahweh transformed over time from the favored and representative god of one group to being the correct and highest and then only god, becoming conflated with El much later.
bleach told me it's pronounced yooha wahkah
Aum.
The idea that such a being would care even a whit about human existence is the height of arrogance. Spirituality I can understand as a personal predilection, but religion... religion is narcissists demanding that the universe acknowledge them.
No way!

"Yahweh 👉👉"
Imma guess God's name is the equivalent of a birdbox beast:

Open to interpretation, yet everywhere...
