When God is given a distinction, it is the natural outcome of a dominance struggle between two cultures. There is a point where a population grows beyond a hierarchy’s ability to communicate a central message. It will split, and this splitting is human aggression. God here, Allah there. We think we define him, when the need for definition stems from the need for a new border. We hunt for and must find distinctions, even if … especially because the two have the same origins. So of course there’s a God. He’s that long, hollow tradition that we load our bullets into.
