Tetragrammaton
PG foolishly answered the question “If you’re not proclaiming the Gospel, why not?”. His reasoning involved non agreement and good taste, and he soon found himself in a fun filled dialog. After the third entry, someone named “Otternam” made this observation: Zach, I was anon earlier, but I can talk now… chamblee is a troll, so don’t play too rough, ok? I can’t tell if he is Jewish or simply superstitious with the whole G-d wordplay… Id just cut to the chase and use the tetragrammaton… “
This is a family blog, and the x rated evidence PG could supply (re: is he Jewish?) is not conclusive in the modern USA. Readers will just have to take his word that he is a recovering baptist. In addition, he had never heard of the tetragrammaton. (Zach, the blog owner, used the phrase “decalogue of Exodus 20” to refer to the Ten Commandments.)
The T-ton is four letters which represent the G-d of Israel. The four letters are YHWH. This is not a song by the Village People. It’s pronunciation is disputed, and some say it should not be spoken aloud anyway. Many say it is Yahwah, which sounds really cool with a southern accent. Yahwah come back now, heah.
At some point, YHWH degenerated into Jehovah and G-d. The third commandment prohibits the improper use of sacred names, but that doesn’t stop very many people. The internet is not inhibited either, and a website for the T-ton is in operation.
