Hmmm...it seems I have been educated this morning, but I'm not sure I agree with the "respect" premise. To me God is well...God....? But anyway, thanks all for some background...

As an interesting point of trivia, this was also an early Christian custom. The Greek term for "lord" (kurios), when used in reference to Jesus Christ, was rendered KS. This is one of the historical evidences showing that early Christians (who were mostly Jews) regarded Jesus Christ as deity, rather than the doctrine evolving later.

It has to do with the nature of the Hebrew etc.
We have become accustomed to one name for God and therefore are not used to it being used only in special occassions.
