Since when was God spelled G-d? Is that short for Goddamn or did your hand slip. Are we so politically correct that we can't spell GOD correctly anymore. Jeeesh. What's up?

It is against Jewish law to write the name of God because His name could then be destroyed. Of course, God's name is a Hebrew word, not spelled G-o-d. However, many Jews extend the law to include the English spelling of God.
