Some Jews write "G-d" to avoid the possible desecration of his name -- which could happen if someone prints out the thread and later decides to toss it in the garbage.

Now, not everyone agrees with this or believes it is necessary -- i.e. some avoid just writing the Hebrew name. That being said, however, I don't see why it is necessary to ridicule a practice whose intended purpose is to show some respect to the name of our creator.

Is it ok to point out silly superstitions that have no basis in the Word?

God is not the name of this power. His great name is "blank". When a jew passes upon it, he replaced it with God or lord. It is this "blank" name which when written on things, those things cannot be thrown away.
