This is almost exactly the thought process I was going through. God is
not His name, at least not in my opinion - it's s title. To me, it's akin
to the President of the US. We all (are supposed to) refer to him by his
title, Mr. President. It's all in how you see things. What may cause a
bit of confusion is the fact that the President has a name, whereas God
does not. So the only thing we *can* call Him by is His title.
