Does it offend you when people write god when referring to God?

When someone writes 'god' in their innocence...

I am not offended.

If someone, making an 'anti-theist' statement, writes 'god'...

to make some petty point about 'whatever'...

I am offended...

God does not need to be assaulted by this human family.

Nah the only time I care is if I'm writing an academic paper for school and my teacher is REALLY picky about stuff like that. Otherwise I really could care less.

Actually I don't even type 'god' anymore, mostly 'omg' so it doesn't really matter lol

GOD- According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, GOD is the common Teutonic word for a personal object of religious worship, applied to all the superhuman beings of the heathen mythologies. The word "god" on the conversion of the Teutonic races to "christianity" was adopted as the name of the One Supreme Being. Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics and Webster's Twentieth Century Dictionary agree that the origin is Teutonic paganism.

it isn't his name

Jeremiah) 23:26, 27:

“Till when shall it be in the heart of the prophets? – the prophets of falsehood and prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My Name by their dreams which everyone relates to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My Name for Baal.”

Not only have most forgot and not known His Name, but they've substituted it for pagan names- "Baal" and "God." Are you ready for a shocker? Just look at what the definitions for "Baal" and "God" are:

Hebrew- ba'al, lord, "Baal" definition: "Lord" (Per Webster's Dictionary).

Baal- lord. (1.) The name appropriated to the principal male "god" of the Phoenicians.

Our Creator has a Name, and it's certainly not "LORD" (Baal). Many will get upset by finding this out and react in several ways, but this can be easily proven (We'll provide you with access to our advanced research that will prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt).

my creator and my savior have the same name YAHUAH

No I write god or God does not matter.

It annoys me a little yes. But it's an easy mistake to make.

No.....people who know him know how to properly spell his name.

ETA: @James, grammar, son -- learn it! Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings -- all titles but proper names get capitalized and your refusal is either grade school level ignorance or intentional disrespect -- either way, it reveals more about you than anyone else!

No, but I do find it a bit ridiculous when people write, (when referring to themselves):

"i" , instead of "I".

This is such a stupid question. Why would it bug me if someone does not capitalize God? I wouldn't care if someone did not capitalize my name.

It shouldn't. It's a title, not a name.

There are thousands of gods. I do not believe in any of them. Why should I capitalise "god"? I capitalise the names of gods, like Zeus, Baal, Ganesh, Isis and Poseidon but the generic "god" needs no capital, it isn't a name it is a description.
