Trump not concerned with Russian interference in U.S election!

True. For some reason I thought it appropriate to quote Colonel ‘Bat’ Guano from Dr. Strangelove; hence the caps.

Absolutely - a proper name, albeit it fictitious, deserves caps. It's always amused me how people tend to NOT capitalize God, even if they believed He wasn't real.

A lot of people do it as a deliberate sign of disrespect for the beliefs of theists.

Well, I notice that JimL often spells God with a small g -- but he also spells America with a small a, but he ALWAYS* spells Russia with a capital R!!!!

I'm thinking I'm spotting a trend!!!!


*from a brief search, this is slightly exaggerated but not entirely untrue!

Yes indeed but ....

Christians are accustomed to using God because they always reference it in a personal manner—they say that "God has spoken to me," not that "my god has spoken to me." Thus, they and other monotheists might be taken aback at finding people who don't privilege their particular god concept and so reference it in a general manner, just as they do with everyone else's god. It's important to remember in such cases that it is not an insult simply to not be privileged.
