Just for the record: you know that "God" is a German word, don't you?

@Sheer indo german. My point is: the entity in the Bible is called "Theos" (latin: Deus). So they - the Christians - are a bit confused when it comes to whom they actually worship; the Europeans converted to Christianity under one condition: that they could proceed to worship their own entity instead of a foreign entity... get the picture? The Romans gave in; it was an act of diplomacy lol

@excusemeplease Uh I'm afraid I lack a lot of knowledge in this area, and still don't quite get the picture you're painting, from your explanation... You start with the word "indo" which I don't know what means. I don't know what entity it is in the bible, called Theos?

Sorry if my messages are annoying now, I didn't know I needed this type of knowledge to understand the point of your post, when I first replied. 😅

@Sheer Yeah, it's a bit simplistic what I stated. But it's a long story! Maybe this gives you a better picture: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages
