Word to the wise
#19

Quote: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'.

I used the large 'Z' not as a sign of respect to a pagan god, but purely because it's a name.




Quote: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.

First off, christians do not have a new god, there is only one God, and He has not been downgraded. Jesus is accorded the same respect by christians as Mohammed by muslims. It may seem different from the outside, but it isn't. Two thousand years ago there was no TV,radio or internet. God/Allah chose to give His word to the world through two means, Mohammed and Jesus, so that His word might spread throughout the world.


I have yet to see a Bible where God is referred to in the lower case (Him, His, He, God).If you have seen it anywhere, it is mostly likely a typo, or just poor literacy. With the way kids are learning txt spk these days its a wonder that any of them manage to string a coherent sentence together, let alone deal with the complexities of punctuation and how to use lower and uppercase letters (I actually was a science exam paper the other day where one kid had spelt 'Oxegen', among other glaring spelling mistakes, and he was supposed to be one of the brighter students :blink: )


And what is a xian?
