The Name of "JESUS" Controversy

I've never had a problem with the name "Jesus". I know how old the letter "J" is, and its use as it pertains to the name of "Jesus" is not a controversy or conspiracy as some others believe. "Jesus" is a transliteration of the Greek "Iesous" which is a transliteration of the Hebrew "Yehoshua" for "Joshua" or the Aramaic "Yeshua" depending on the dialect and accent one uses. The Greek alphabet does not have a "Y", and the "I" in Greek is the closest equivalent to the Aramaic or Hebrew "Y". "SOUS" (not "Zeus" as falsely taught by some) is the transliteration of the "SHUA" sound. When translating languages you cannot simply make people easily change their accent to pronounce words with letters they don't have in their alphabet. This is true even when speaking a different dialect of the same language.
