This I disagree with.

We name God, because we want and need a form we can reach for, in order to attain the Truth.

The Gods abide, and show themselves to each of us, in the ways that each individual understands it.

The Truth itself may be ineffable. Which is why to name it, allows others to reach for it. One cannot reach for that which is unable to be comprehended.
The Gods were created by something greater. That which is created is temporal. Has a beginning, has an end.

No one is saying the Gods don't have an end. Ragnarok exists.

To extinguish the lamp takes silence. To realize there is a lamp to extinguish, it needs a name.
I have no argument with this. We each kill "god" in our own way.

It is our imperative to be.
