Divine self-revelation; Greetings.

Today in my Hebrew Bible class we were discussing how God self-identifies to Moses as "I shall be who I shall be", often translated in Christian tradition as "I am who am". I flashed back to my high school religion class, when the nun was discussing that very thing and the kid behind me said that that's who we know God isn't black, because otherwise he'd be "I be who be".

My new greetings for women I know is "Howdy, sugar."

Oddly, I've given up for some reason on greeting groups of people I know by saying "Hola, fatties" (always a favorite of mine).
