Elsebeth Rhiannon told a tale at the Inter-Galactic Summit that is very much intra-galactic.
Ms. Rhiannon is not merely a terrorist but she is also a wonderful storyteller, and offers an insight into the mind of the apostate Minmatar. They believe in spirits that have names and live with us in this world, and God for them is merely one of these spirits, albeit a very powerful one. Of course, they see it as a malevolent spirit. To them, it is an angry spirit, cut off from the original world of spirits, and the only nameless spirit. Their animistic religion mirrors the cruelty and violence of their society.
Nevertheless, the story of God's namelessness reminded me of a beautiful prayer of St. Gregory of Nahyeen:
God beyond all things earthly,
By no other name could I call You!
You are beyond words,
when all words stem from You.
You who name all names,
You are the only unnameable one.
How could I call you other than
God beyond all things earthly.
You see, our theologians agree that God does not have a name like John or Lisa. But rather than seeing this as a weakness or a punishment, it is a characteristic of strength, or rather of God's transcendent nature. He from who all names stem is beyond naming, as the Saint points out.
((ooc attribution: this paraphrased short piece is part of a longer prayer on the trancendent nature of God by St. Gregory of Nazianzen, a fourth century archbishop of Constantinople who was clearly an Amarrian))
