I think it has something to do with not destroying anything with the word of God on it. People use G-d in it's place so as not to spell it out, thereby making it okay to throw away the writing. This is also why people use XMAS instead of Christmas. If this is an old wive's tale, then sorry for the disinformation.

I think you're onto something there. I seem to recall hearing the same thing about Christmas and Xmas, as you mentioned. Thanks for jolting this old man's skull full of mush.
