Actualy it is pronounced "HaShem" with a patach, not a sh'va under the first letter. The initial heh as an article always has a "ah" sound, and never an "eh" sound.
On behalf of Hebrew speakers everywhere, please don't fake it if you don't know it.
Thanks!
You are the one who is faking it. I know H'shem. I don't care how you write it. God is my best friend. You are the one who is faking it with your scholarly knowledge of a being you do not know.

Ok, there actually was a nugget of wisdom hidden in there among the tripe. My question is, however, what does this have to do with believing in god?
To believe in God is to laugh at what men consider great.
An atheist is someone that takes his culturally constructed world very, very seriously. It is not surprising that you would be offended.

No, I will not have the faith of a child. Such a requirement for understanding truth can be nothing but the cheap tricks of the snake oil salesman.

What do you base your ethics on? Do you base them on a complicated argument or do you base them on intuition?

The con man is not the one who receives truth, the con man is the one that invents truth and says that he receives it.
To be a little child is to stop creating and start receiving.
