The Almighty Howard: Comedic Video Sparks Debate on God's Name

A recent video titled "The Almighty Howard" has taken Reddit by storm, leaving viewers both amused and bewildered. In the video, a child confidently asserts that God's name is Howard, humorously misinterpreting the phrase from the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name," as "Howard be thy name."

The exchange goes as follows:

- What is God's name?

- Howard.

- Who?

- Howard.

- Howard? How do you know his name is Howard?

- Because.

- Because what?

- Our Father in heaven, Howard be thy name.

- Who?

- Howard be thy name.

- Howard be thy name?

- Howard be thy name.

This comical misunderstanding has generated a variety of reactions from Reddit users. One user amusingly asked, "Dumb question but what are the correct words? I'm drawing a blank." Another user humorously pointed out, "That hymn says it is 'Andy': Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me..."

Many found the child's interpretation adorable and charming. A user commented, "She is adorable and absolutely correct. Howard be thy name.😆" Another quipped, "Mfer cracked the code. The lord's name is Howard. So we can't say Howard in vain."

However, not all reactions were light-hearted. Some users criticized the use of beauty filters on children, with one stating, "Don't use beauty filters on your children people, what is wrong with you."

The video even sparked a bit of theological debate. One user remarked, "And most Christians won't even be able to tell you what their god's actual name is even though it's in the Bible." Another added, "The Christianity bashing in here was obviously expected on Reddit and did not disappoint."

In the midst of the humor, some users reminisced about their own childhood misconceptions. One shared, "When I was like 10 I thought it was the 16th chapel not Sistine Chapel and was confused on what happened to the first 15." Another likened the child's confusion to the iconic "Is this the Reebok or the Nike?" mix-up.

Despite some criticism and skepticism about the video's authenticity, such as "Staged as s***," the majority of viewers found the child's earnest mistake endearing and entertaining. The video serves as a light-hearted reminder of the innocent and often comedic ways children interpret the world around them.

Whether or not God's name is Howard, one thing is certain: this video has brought a smile to many faces and a bit of levity to the online community.
