Why do people keep saying G-d????
Why do people write G-d instead of just saying God? Is our country really so politically afraid that we can't even say God? Your thoughts please.
okay, some have said it's out of respect. but "God" is not a name. it's a title. Jews believed that knowing someone's name gave you power over them. but "God" is not someone's name.

Actually, it's just the opposite. There are a number of religious types who adhere to a Biblical admonition against using the name of god, so they abbreviate it like that.
Being an atheist, it's just the same as saying "Th-r" or "J-piter," but that's just me.

The reason is because Jewish people will not write out the full name of God on anything that can be destroyed. Its a sign of respect.

The Bible e book of Revelation solutions: “God placed it into their hearts to accomplish his thought.” (Revelation 17:17) sure, God will call fake faith to account for all the despicable acts she has dedicated in his call.

no usually it's those that are Jewish or strongly orthodox. they do not write the name of God fully out of respect for HIm.

It's out of respect. Personally I don't bother, being not religious, but it's not something to get annoyed over.
