Anyone can worship anything they want and call it Bob or FRUNOBULAX. Those things are totally insignificant. After all, Hindus worship n+1 different gods and call them Shiva and Kali and whatever, without a single fact that would point towards them even existing! In brief: A mortal cannot know the true name of a God, or that the God exists. Therefore he must a) invent his own name for the God he worships and b) invent the whole God. The answer can be nought but "yes". -- 65 Zn Symphonie pour le jour ou bruleront les cites 30
