Do christians think of their god as if it's a two-year-old?

So, I was talking with my mother-n-law (who is pentecostal holiness) the other day, and instead of saying "crap" she spelled it out C R A P, because she thinks its a bad word. Will this fool god? Or does she think god can't spell?

    Lol, no. But some people who really want to use a word they think is "BAD" will do silly things like that. It's funny. When I was a teen back in the 1970s people here in my part of the UK went through a phase of saying "Sugar" instead of "sh*t" ( I don't think Yahoo would let me type that word completely). Everyone knew they meant the four letter word but they thought it was funny to say sugar instead. These days it sounds very silly. People can be an endless source of amusement, but no, I don't think that means we consider God to be illiterate or unable to tell what we really meant to say.

    I've got to go with Fireball's answer. Seriously, does she even READ the questions before she spouts off? It's truly incredible.

    Her faith and legalistic understanding is NOT Repeat NOT typical of Christianity, and NO He isn't.

    Sounds like the people who spell god g-d. Like putting in the o instead of the dash is somehow bad or wrong.

    He's certainly portrayed as a petulant toddler in scripture, so maybe your mother-in-law is onto something.

    Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
