    Ok, I'm stupid

    Why do I see some posts with G-d or G-D instead of God?

    Are we afraid the online censors will give us grief?

    What is the purpose?

    Some folks won't type the "o" so they're not taking the Lord's name in vain. Jews particularly tend to avoid it out of respect for His name, whether "God" or "Jehovah/Yahweh". Some, both Christian and Jewish, will even go so far as to type "the L-rd" or "Alm-ghty", although I've never witnessed those two personally. I wouldn't be surprised if the Menonite community near me tended to do that though.

    Some Jewish people will also use the literal translation of the Hebrew spelling of "Jehovah" - YHWH - instead of the name, or even use a term ("HaShem") that literally translates as "The Name".
