To my understanding it’s like getting mad at German Christians because they and German pagans both use the word “Gott”.

If Free Republic had existed in 428, I can only imagine we would have had endless threads in the Religion Forum on just that topic.

In 428 AD there'd still be people upset with calling "God" by a name that's a clear derivative of "Zeus" ~ as in "Deus".

We are all innocent of such confusion in English since we call "God" by the name "God" which is the same term "god" that we use to refer to pagan divinities!
