RE: I certainly sympathize with the Catholics. But maybe it’s time to go back to the old word for God that was used before the Muzzies came in and conquered the country.

The Malay and Indonesian language (mutually intelligible but differing in spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary) have an original term for God — TUHAN.

That was long before the Arabs came to their soil.

I didn’t remember the word Tuhan, but that’s what I thought. It would be expensive to revise the Bibles and other books, and maybe a bit confusing for a while, but why not dump the Muslim Allah, which was originally imposed on them? Frankly, the word Allah is pretty demonic, IMHO, the more you look into what Muslims and the Koran have to say about it.

TUHAN also can mean Sir, Mr., Lord.
