Oh. I didn't know Yahweh was with a v. I tried Yahveh and when that didn't work Yehova and nope. Doesn't help when my native language treats v and w as the same letter.

If you would like a less "crude" expression of karma – because yeah, that one sounds pretty glib – and one that will raise the quizee's knowledge via exposure to accurate terminology, you could change it to something like "The Indian principle of cause and effect".

You ought to at least accept masjid for mosque, and possibly Mecca and Medina as they are the two most significant. But masjid is the non-Romanized version. and all of the above starts with M.

I agree with masjid being acceptable as that is what muslims call it regardless of their language (maybe turkish might be an exception here).

However, Mecca and Medina should not be acceptable answers based on the clue provided.

Yahweh is not we, Jewish people, use or have ever used for G-d.
kalbahamut

Level 81

Yahweh is the name of the old Hebrew air god. These primitive people believed that he existed everywhere, that being inside of you is what gave things life (as they were filled with air; breath), and that you could not avoid saying his name as it's the sound you make when you inhale (yah) and exhale (weh). Some of this is speculative. We don't know exactly how old Hebrews used to vocalize the names of their old gods because starting around the 3rd century BC their superstition made them think it was bad to say or write down the gods' names. Jehovah became a common English transliteration. There are something like 50+ different gods mentioned in the Hebrew bible, and good reason to believe that at some point Hebrews at least believed in and probably worshipped many, until a couple different gods got fused into their concept of YHWH and eventually they became monotheistic similar to in Egypt when the pantheon was slowly abandoned in favor of worship of Amon-Ra, another combined god.

Really? You're saying the tetragrammaton יהוה means nothing to you? Yahweh, Yehova, Yeshua. Literally all the same thing.
Clarisse451
+5
Level 65
Apr 25, 2019
You fail to understand that the tetragrammaton is a sacred name for God that is traditionally believed to be unpronounceable/secret pronunciation (Hebrew does not have vowels). The English (seemingly phonetic) rendering of Yahweh is not only impossible in Hebrew (which doesn't have a w sound, and the number of letters doesn't even correspond), but shows a lack of basic understanding of the significance of the letters in Jewish thought, tradition, and belief. To render them here, as blackholexsun has done, shows yet more ignorance. Whether from a technical or religious perspective, Yahweh is not significant to or representative of the Jewish people in this English form.

Kal, why insult others religion. Sure you can say you think it is false or that they are inconsistent, but to call someones traditions as silly is just rude. Any tradition that is not your own will tend to be "silly" if you can't or refuse to understand it. That doesn't mean you have to disrespect them whenever you can. If you don't have something nice to say..

Ragnarok is not the end of the world in Norse mythology. It means "Twilight of the gods," and it does feature a lot of natural disasters, a great battle, and the death of many (but not all) gods, and humanity survives as well.

I honestly wish I could travel 1000 years in to the future just to see if Jesus had made it on to the Avengers by then. I assume that some day he'll be treated about the same as Thor is now. I know South Park made him part of the Super Best Friends but that's a parody; I want to see the serious Russo Brothers version of Jesus.
