Oversimplification

G O D

Three letters. Single syllable. One vowel. Two consonants. Spelled backwards it is DOG. Spelled inside out its ODG or GDO or DGO, but that doesn't really mean anything.

G O D

Wars. Deaths of Innocents. Burning at the Stake. Mass exterminations or migrations. Ended friendships. Failed marriages. Hate. Jealousy. Hypocrisy. Arrogance. Evolution. Ignorance. Flags burned. Abortion clinics bombed. September 11th. Taliban. Crucifixion.

G O D

Intangible. Unknown. Mystery. All powerful force or mental teddy bear? Knows the number of sand pebbles on a beach or couldn't care less about such pebbles? Science or Religion?

In the end, whatever "GOD" is, its nothing as simple as three letters.
