Speak of the devil
An act of faith
  1. God: I am God the Lord.
  2. The Israelites: OK. What's your name.
  3. God: Ah, my name! My name is the most sacred name ever. It is so holy that I decided to prohibit you to pronounce it.
  4. The Israelites: What?
  5. God: Simply do not pronounce it.
  6. The Israelites: Why?
  7. God: Well, my name is so sacred that I don't want anyone to mispronounce it.
  8. The Israelites: And if we pronounce it correctly?
  9. God: Don't take the risk.
  10. The Israelites: We are curious to know your name.
  11. God: I will give you only it's spelling: yod, he, waw, he.
  12. The Israelites: Did you just give us the consonants and remove the vowels?
  13. God: Absolutely! Never call me by my name. Call me God, Lord, or everything else that shows respect BUT NOT MY NAME!
  14. The Israelites: The vowels, God, please.
  15. God: No way!
  16. The Israelites: Let me guess. Maybe it is, Yahweh?
  17. God: Did you have the audacity of pronouncing my name? MAY YOU BE PUNISHED IN HELL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. The Israelites: God loves us, well? No.
