Why do you spell G_d? Are you so politically correct that you can’t even spell God’s name? Even on a Rush thread?

OMG, I hope your Phalanx system is operational. :)

I didn’t write the introduction, however, I would assume the original author did so to respect others, whose religious beliefs would find use of the word “God” spelled out in such context in which it is used as disrespectful.

I’m not a religious sort, so spelling the title “God” (surely, you don’t believe that the Creator, who created all the various species of plants and animals, used all His creativity on that and chose “God” as his name?) doesn’t bother me. On the other hand, paying respect to others who worship more fervently than I or have another point of view on something as deeply personal and fundamental as religion doesn’t bother me. The question is, why does such a respect bother you?

“God” is not his name. It’s Jesus.

People in polite company would suppress the urge to ask a question like that. I believe *style* was covered in frosh year.
