James,
Why not,
Beloved, God,
Rather than.....
Beloved, (Great Spirit, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Allah, Higher Love, Da, Higher Power- You fill in the blanks),
That was my original point! Why the other things?
The only reason why I make the distinction is this, (lets try to avoid a disagreement here, I am just trying to make a point) if one of the entities mentioned is not a valid entity to pray to, the prayer might be useless. But if all believers in God substitute God's name, it is always valid.
