Quote:Well I guess it is just a matter of intention. When I use the word God, you know and I know I refer to the Almighty. As there is only one true God, when I use that word logically I can only be refering to the almighty. The only time it becomes an issue is in a matter of history, when discussing pagan god's. It's also worth pointing out that when refering to the Almighty, it should be written with a capital 'G', as you would when writing someones name, and when discussing say Zeus, it would be lower case.
I agree that using upper case "G" as in God is a form of respect and to mark the difference or level of importance/respect you have offered zeus as with a small 'z'.
This leads us to a glaring sign of disrespect from the xians towards God. Now that they have a new God, being Jesus, they have down-graded God in the bible and refer to Him as "him" to signify their lack of respect.
