'God' is a noun used to refer to a supreme being or deity.
Language evolves and changes.
The meaning of words can differ from that of their etymological ancestors.
The words 'god' and 'good' differ in spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
You're a noun.
Goods exist in warehouses and depots.
These were built by God for the storage of himself, his family and his belongings, which are insured for acts of good.
It doesn't matter when the blunder occurred, what matters is that whoever coined this term, for this usage, was in error.
They were probably referring to a 'good deity', or 'good deities'.
The problem is, that this has led to a situation where many people do not understand who / what this good deity was (these good deities were), and / or are reluctant or unwilling to discuss or elaborate on the specifics, character, traits, etc. of this.
There is no such thing a a 'good' or 'goods'. There is 'merchandise', are 'commodities' and 'wares', etc.
It's not a blunder. God the good deity organised the evolution of language just like that of plants, animals and dance.
The words 'god' and 'good' are unrelated.
I thought that Archaic Divided People didn't believe in 'evolution'. If they do, then this would mean that their so-called good book (which is, in reality, very, very corrupt)is incorrect. This would then mean that this so-called good deity is fallible. How good is a fallible deity?
Please back up your statement that,"The words 'god' and 'good' are unrelated" with proof that they actually are unrelated, instead of stating this as a simple conclusion (in your own mind).
Please back up your argument with proof that the words 'god' and 'good' actually are related, instead of stating this as an incorrect etymological fact.
The following pages claim the words have unrelated origins:
A fallible deity makes a no good god. Some interpret the good book allegorically, which leaves room for an understanding of the evolution of language, animals and dance. The rest limit their rejection of evolution to the biological only. They do believe in cultural and linguistic evolution. They prefer to call it 'change'.

Incorrect. I am not a 'warehouse'. A warehouse is a structure or room. I am a person.

Please back up your argument with proof that the words 'god' and 'good' actually are related, instead of stating this as an incorrect etymological fact.
The following pages claim the words have unrelated origins:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/god
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=god
And this article:
http://blog.oup.com/2009/11/good-god-and-etymology/
Please provide proof to the contrary.
A fallible deity makes a no good god. Some interpret the good book allegorically, which leaves room for an understanding of the evolution of language, animals and dance. The rest limit their rejection of evolution to the biological only. They do believe in cultural and linguistic evolution. They prefer to call it 'change'.
You're an archaic divided people.
