The name '''Godheval''' means "God's Upheaval". God in this context refers to the rigid ''institution'' of God, as found in [[organized religion]], but for Godheval also represents the [[dogma|dogmatic]] structure of many [[secular]] schools of thought. The upheaval refers to his [[skepticism]] in demanding that everything be questioned and challenged to the point of fervor. The name does not ascribe any sort of [[Divinity|divine]] status to Godheval himself, as that would be entirely [[hypocrisy|hypocritical]].

He is a [[writer]], [[philosophy|philosopher]], [[social commentary|social commentator]], and an aspiring [[multimedia]] creator.

He lives a dual life, one in the world you all know, and another in the world of his vast imagination. Sometimes the two are difficult to distinguish, and the disparity between idealism and pragmatism is often hard to reconcile. He is a philosopher of sorts, constantly developing his own ideas about himself and the world. In some ways he is an [[existentialism|existentialist]], as he almost instinctively resists the influence of major cultural and ideological - e.g. [[Political party|political]] and [[Judaism|re]][[Christianity|li]][[Islam|gi]][[Atheism|ous]], and constantly [[Introspection|questions his own identity]].

He is a true [[nonconformity|nonconformist]], which is different than a "reverse conformist". He doesn't intentionally resist what's popular just to be different, and in fact sometimes mourns his differences. He [[Devil's advocate|challenges everything]] and [[Relativism|believes in nothing]], but this is very different than [[Ignorance|accepting nothing]] and [[Nihilism|disbelieving in everything]].

Godheval is amorphous. He takes in everything with a [[Skepticism|certain degree of doubt]] and is prepared at any moment to [[Paradigm_shift#Other_uses|cast off old preconceptions]] as his image of the world changes. He claims to be an [[anachronism]], although he is unsure if he would've been better suited to the relative simplicity of the past, or what his imagination projects as an [[Utopia|ideal future]] &ndash; which he thinks can only come about if [[altruism]] becomes the vernacular [[Ethics|ethic]].
