I looked it up but nobody really knows. Jesus H Christ

Quote:the most widely accepted derivation is from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism. The symbol, derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus ( Ἰησοῦς), is transliterated iota-eta-sigma: IHS, ΙΗϹ (with lunate sigma), JHS or JHC. Since the transliteration IHS gave rise to the backronym Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus, savior of men"), it is plausible that JHC similarly led to Jesus Harold Christ,[4] Harold coming from the mispronunciation of the word "hallowed" of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name."

So now we know that God's real name is Harold. Big Grin

This reminds me of a Christian site which goes in for humour. They have a section called Gadgets For God. Here's an example of the kind of descriptions they give for the items.

Holy Water Bottle

Quote:Carrying holy water with you? Don't want to use a profane coke bottle? This classy plastic bottle shows Our Lord with a blue screw-top on His head. He sported something similar to gain attention before the Sermon on the Mount. It's just the ticket for keeping your dollop of H2-holy safe.
