"Why do you lower case God."
Picking on him because he is catholic?
Give it a rest RB, some people type most things lower case, it doesn't make it more important than if you type it all upper case.
Surely it is what is in his mindthat is important.
With the music argument, surely it is the same as listening to pop boy or girl groups, music that sounds good, but is a copy of the same music that has come before it and listening to music that pushed the limits, artists who strived to be the best and as a result the words have that much more meaning.

god out of disrespect. I'd disagree about the catholic statement
but that is just me, well maybe not just me, but I disagree none
the less. 🙂

My point is: That person may not have intended any disrespect
to God by using lowercase. The use of 'lowercase' is a convention;
it doesn't exist in a lot of other languages, including Hebrew.
If God is really, REALLY insulted by saying 'god' (even when you do
it respectfully), then He should have made a commandment about
the writing of His name. You don't know about his intent, so I don't
know how you could just castigate him out of hand.
I believe that you harbor deep resentment to Roman Catholics as
you've repeatedly attacked those who are (or whom you believe are)
Roman Catholic. If you don't believe me, I can compile a list using
the search function. I think that you have denominational prejudice
towards Roman Catholics and I tire of it.
Incidentally, your occasional misrepresentations of Scripture can be
construed as insulting to God as well, not to mention the times when
your grammar is nearly incoherent.
I don't take it as insult, but error. Yet, you judge this person on the
use of 'lowercase.'
It's not a big deal; God really doesn't care what you write as long as
you write it fervently. Think about it.

Some Catholic friends that I have think they are going to Heaven for being good, and for being Baptisted. If we could get to Heaven for being Baptisted then we could get a fire hose have a preist bless it and spray down the world. I have a cousin who was Baptisted in the Catholic Church when he was a baby, but now he is 18 and an atheist.
rbhill you are one of the good people. and i agree with you. GOD BLESS.
