Nice, but why write GOD "G-d"?

We have enough PC around to last us a thousand lifetimes. Sure hope the freepers don't start adding to it!

I'm not sure what Mossad's reason's are, but many Jews believe strongly that the name of God should not be written in any way that can be erased. So when they write it on paper, or on a screen, they write G-d. It's clear of whom they are speaking, and they do not violate that tenet of their faith. (I was told this by a rabbit who is a family friend - I was curious so I asked.)

OK it is TOOO early in the morning for me to be typing. I do NOT believe I typed that.

It was a RABBI who told me, not a RABBIT. No T. None of the RABBITS I have seen talk. I'm sorry. Boy do I feel dumb!
