dagda, to focus on the original post and the name of God spoken by Lilith, I see on your profile you list yourself as "Gnostic"
As an atheist I dismiss the story of Lilith beceaus it is in the same league of myth as Genesis. It has the same credibility, that is, I don't disregard it merely because it is not in the canon of Christian Scripture, I disregard it because it is myth. Like George & the Dragon.
But are you full-on Gnostic? ie You believe in a monothesit deity, the fall of man, a dualistic divine realm/material world and all the rest of it?
And if so, why have you latched on to an obscure belief system that was popular in the 2nd and 3rd centuries? You've chosen as your user name the Irish version of the "Father God" .
I'm not having a go at you, I am genuinely interested.

'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? Jer 8:8
