A fun little fact about God: God’s real name is not God. Rather, God is his stage name.

God’s birth name is Nihazaid the Terrible. He was named after his father, so he is formally known as Nihazaid the Terrible Junior.

In the early years of his career, Nihazaid the Terrible continued using his real name. He struggled, doing little miracles in neighborhood bars. No one seemed to want to worship him for long after he stopped buying them drinks.

It was his agent who suggested the use of a stage name, when an opportunity to perform at children’s birthday parties came up. The agent pointed out that the children’s prayer of gratitude, “Nihazaid the Terrible is good. Nihazaid the Terrible is great. Let us thank him for our food,” would have a better flow if it didn’t have so many syllables.
