Typing "G-d" looks to me more like it is a dirty word someone is trying to sneak past a language filter.

I'd say disrespect for respect-worthy things has been clearly shown on this thread. CP and others are being more reasonable in their usage that those who deprecate others propagating respect for God's Word.   It's a time-honored activity spanning millenia, not a typo to be compared to vulgarity, and for which the author's presumed intentions should be impugned. (Shame!)

OTOH, as Christians we believe we have been shown a better way; we should not be browbeaten by those who would that we not use the Lord's name when He's made it clear that it's use is available to us and encouraged as we "in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (ICor 1:2) and "ask anything in My name" (Jn 14:14, 16:23).   It's one glorious and powerful name, not an abbreviation built by those who put fences around everything that was sacred!

Man was not made for the Name.

Do you have some proof? The name of God seems to be fully spelled out in holy writings. Strong's Concordance shows no evidence for leaving out the "o" in God for the number 0430.
