But when you write "God," it is always going to represent something single; you can't pluralize it. And respectively, monotheism teaches that there is only one god, not more than one.
That might be one of the reasons for using a capital "g" in "God."
That's why, when I have to refer to the YHWH character, I tend to use scare quotes to depict my opinion of it being a fictional character, unless doing so would be confusing (ie "God"'s will just looks horrible - in every sense, actually). I notice several others do the same so hopefully I'm doing something right. Unless I've started another trend, of course.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
