Updated: 8:44 a.m. EDT April 25, 2002 LAKE CITY, Fla. -- A Lake City man has petitioned a
court to change his name to "god,'' spelled in all lower-case, and a judge has
taken it under advisement.
Charles Haffey is a Vietnam vet who had a nervous breakdown while in southeast Asia in 1968. He said that if the name "god'' is taken, he'll settle for the name "god on earth.'' Haffey said that his former self died in Vietnam in 1968. He said that he has tried to bring himself back with drink, drugs, sex or about anything you can name, but nothing has worked. The judge notes Haffey suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and is taking psychotropic medications. The decision on the name change is expected next week, after Circuit Judge Vernon Douglas researches some things. Haffey has served brief jail time in Nassau County for having a standoff with police in 1999. But he said that's all behind him now. He said that he's not the Supreme Being and "can't levitate you or anything.'' Haffey said that calling himself "god'' means escaping his previous life as an overachiever and perfectionist While we were sleeping, the enemy came and sowed
weeds among the wheat.
