The Jehovah's Witnesses call Him Jehovah, and rightly so, since that is one of His names. "God" is so generic; why don't we call him by one of His real names? He is my God, but that is not His name. I do call Him Jesus, but what about all the other names? Any insight on this?

Here's a listing I came across of His names.

Say a new school jewish cult emerges from the people that are disastified with the commercialism of the temple and the roman puppet king. The peace and love people. They spread their religion across the sea to greece, but not before being persecuted in thier own land. The stories about these early martyrs formed into a composite charecter named jesus (greek name) who was persecuted by the romans and crucified but he was loving and forgiving to the end. Well you know how these stories go, next thing you know he's the son of god who can walk on water and his marytyrdom was voluntary so we could be forgiven, like a human sacrifice.

It certainly comes up a lot but the more I study the bible the more I see a difference between God who is Jesus' father and Jesus, the son of God and the King of Earth.

This really begins to errode what I grew believing with the trinity doctrine.

For example:

Revalation Chapter 3:12

12 `He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

Many references Jesus makes to his God.

Revelation 3:14

14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

Here Jesus says he is the first of creation.

I see atheism as a religion, since its basic founding principle "non-belief in deities" is in conflict with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and as such must be an article of faith for any reasonable atheist, whoops but that makes them a religion doesn't it? So are there any reasonable atheists who can admit this?

To clarify the conflict I see with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it basically says because of the chaotic appearance of matter at the quantum level you can't ever truly know the state of anything, you can only know its probable state. Yet atheists say they know there are no Gods, but to prove this scientifically would violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Not only that but to measure a thing changes it also holds true for this, to prove there was no God, you'd have to be everywhere in all of existence, for all of time at every level of existence, but whoops you just became God, by most definitions, and certainly by the definition of atheism right?

Since we don't know everything, then we have to suppose that it's possible that "Star Wars" is not fiction. Since we can't prove otherwise, it may actually be an accurate history of events that occurred a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Agree or disagree?
