Mar 30, 2020 at 21:24 comment added Volker Landgraf Ode an Pudding klingt für mich wie Bodenstation an Christian, sprich: wenn nach dem "an" kein Artikel kommt, erwartet man dahinter einen Namen.
Mar 30, 2020 at 15:07 comment added Christian Geiselmann @Roland :-) I would not call God "tangible" exactly, but I understand what you mean: God being seen as kind of a person. Hm. I will think about the explanation and try to phrase it better.
Mar 30, 2020 at 13:38 comment added user6495 But the explanation is off. In "Ode an Gott", God is extremely tangible, because he is addressed like a person.
Mar 30, 2020 at 13:37 comment added Christian Geiselmann @Roland I agree that the concept of God (and the traditions how to adress him) is different from the concepts of joy and flummery. I used it only to demonstrate that both ways of expressing oneself, with and without article, are possible, but the attitude is different.
Mar 30, 2020 at 13:34 comment added user6495 Your example using Gott is not fitting. In "Ode an Gott", Gott is used as a name. You could just as well say "Ode an Maria". "Ode an den Gott" seems awkward because there is only one god in Christian belief, the Christian god is usually (always?) referred to without article.
