The name of God thread.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I’ve wondered why Jewish people often write God as G-d? Or something like that?

It isn't considered reverent to write the name of God (in any form) in a place where it may be destroyed.  If, for instance, you write 'God' on a bit of paper and then burn it, you have desecrated the name of God.  Spelling it out 'G-d' lets people know what you mean, but you've not actually written out the full name.

One of the advantages to having a Jewish wife.
