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.

That's interesting. Thank you. I guess I learned something today. I'm always interested in varying peoples' and cultures' expressions of faith.

Be well and God Bless.
