Thanks for laying that out.
Did I say that Jews were blaspheming? No. I did say that g-d is a well-known abbreviate for a blasphemy. Do you really not know that abbreviation? People even say it out loud.
One more time, to use that well-known abbreviation for a blashpemy, and say "Oh, no, when I use it, you have to take out your decoder-ring so you can know how holy I am! I'm so holy, I do'nt even spell out GeeDee's name!" -- makes as much sense as telling someone to "f**k himself," and then explain that you really meant he should "fork himself."
Otherwise, yes, I did fully answer you. As you've not responded to the substance, there's no real need for more.

What you said was that G_d was a blasphemy at best and "an attempt to be holier than God Himself by manmade, self-referential ostentations" at worst. Since your self-declared best case scenario declares its usage as a blasphemy, maybe you are implying that Jews blaspheme, but I will instead assume that you totally forgot about the consciously respectful way in which G_d is used.
Do I know that it is also used as an abbreviation for blasphemy? Yes, but unlike you, that usage isn't the first that springs to my mind, as the FAR more common usage I encounter is the respectful usage by religious Jews.

The avoidance of the casual use of the Lord's name is not to show off one's own holiness, but to show respect for that of God's. On the other hand, lecturing people on the theme of a party they hold because you consider it not Christian enough for the season, that is pure sanctimony.
