Doc: The great chain of being is actually a pyramid. At the top is God. Haaallelujah~ And below him are the angels. Haaaallelujah!~
Catholic: Aaaah you can't say that!
Doc: Why not?
Catholic: It's Lent!
Doc: I'm Jewish.
[Discussion about saying "Hallelujah" during Lent ensues.]
Catholic: I won't say the Y word for you!
Doc: . . . I don't actually care that much . . .
Doc: Where my lighting designers at? *turns off most of the lights* Would you guys say shadow is winning right now?
LD: . . . Well, I'd say this is a more dramatic look than you had.

But yeah, as far as I understand, the whole point of YHWH is that it's unpronounceable or at least has an unknown pronunciation, so that you're not using the sacred name of God in unsacred contexts. y/n?
