[Serious Question] What is the official name for the practice of capitalizing divine pronouns?
For example, when Christians capitalize words like "He", "His", etc. when the pronoun subs in for "God" or "God's".
I've always wondered whether there is one, and what it is if there is. I'm not looking for polemical answers from any perspective (ie., no "Respect" or "Bad grammar"). I really only want to know what this is called out of personal curiosity.
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoI am writing a book, and would like some assistance?
So, I had this idea for a book, where the main character founds a software development firm and uses the money he earns from that to begin a charitable endeavor farming scorpions.
Now, I just need to know what he should do charitably with the scorpions. I'm thinking maybe donate them as Christmas gifts for children? Throw them out to the needy from a helicopter? Maybe he should give them all to ASPCA to show how beautiful all animals are.
I need some suggestions.

1 AnswerPolls & Surveys8 years agoGuys, I think that I really messed up?
So, I woke up this morning wearing a goat skull on my head, surrounded by a crowd of unconscious people who may or may not have been painted blue. The ground was covered with silken tapestries, we were in an abandoned warehouse, and there was a dead emu on an altar before a solid gold statue of an ostrich.
I think I might have started a cult.
What should I do?
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoHow can I meet more interesting friends?
Should I join a cult of some sort? I think that's the answer, but one of my current, boring friends tells me that I shouldn't do that. Should I, like, cut him off?
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoHelp dealing with some very questionable neighbors?
I just moved into a new neighborhood on the west side of Hillsborough, and anyway, it's a nice part of town. The schools here are great, there's a park not two blocks away for the kids...the only problem is with our neighbors.
There are three of them, all middle-aged females. They sit up all night making strange noises, something like a large and angry parrot. We went over to visit them our first day here, the pack leader snarled at me, flared out her neck feathers, and extended her half-foot long retractable claw. I just noticed that the other two weren't within easy range of sight, so I slammed the door, ran to my house, and turned on the electric fence (it never occurred to me to ask our real estate agent why the house was surrounded by a twelve foot high fence, but boy do I know now!).
At any rate, how do I deal with this situation? Also, do you think my neighbors might be velociraptors? I keep saying that they just have a skin condition, but everyone else thinks that they're velociraptors.

Yesterday, I was walking through the forest, and I stuck my arms in a volcano. Today, I woke up without my arms.
Is there a connection? What should I do?
I still have my hands.

1 AnswerPolls & Surveys9 years agoNeed help closing a portal to a strange Hell-dimension?
I and one of my friends were driving around yesterday, just killing time, when we found a rock laying by the side of the road. Well, turns out that it was exotic matter, and anyway, we got bored and used it to create a traversable wormhole. I don't feel like explaining how that happened, but it involved a crap ton of math. Someone even drew a sigma. It was terrifying.
Anyway, I don't know how to put this, but I'll put it this way. We opened a portal to something that looks an awful lot like Hell. I mean, it's not literally Hell, but it sure does have a lot of lava, darkness, and things that look like common house cats but can turn you into shrews.
So, uh, here's the question. How do I shut the portal? It's kind of bad. Like, really bad. I mean, my friend can't really help because he's...uh, never mind. He's okay. He has not become a shrew. Not at all. Not at aoisdufaoiseruawh
Sorry, a shrew just ran across the keyboard. Anyway, how do I make this stop?
