I agree w/r to the terms "depth" and "gravitas"

"Frist I would like to raise give honor to the Causeless Cause and Rootless Root from which all things have grown whom I choose to call Allah." -- Sheik Melvin

And who exactly is Sheik Melvin to "choose" what name G-d should have? (Yes, I know that's what Mohammed called him, too, and probably for the same reason.)

What does that remind me of? Oh, yes, I know...

"I will love him and cherish him and call him ...Allah?"

Sounds more like an adopted pet, then a god.

What more proof does one need that this is a form of self-indulgent nonsense?

At least the Shriners help sick kids, and have fun raising money to do that. Too bad "MAI" had to drop everything of value in whatever they copied.
