Hallo MMMG

I believe it's needed for clarity. It's almost like using the definite article "the" as against using "a" to refer to someone or something.

If I say 'a man' it is different from saying 'the man'...the first can be any man but the second refers to a specific man.

Now, for some persons like me who believe we have various deities, this clarity in the deity been referred to would help.

For me, when one uses 'god', I take it to be any other deity apart from the creator of the universe but when one uses the initial caps 'God' instead, then I know the individual refers to the creator of the world.

Now this rule for me can be shelved when I discuss with Atheists because then I know we discuss basically about the God I serve who happens to be the creator of the Universe.

^^^ So why is it that when I use Jizz-Us, people see it as the same as jesus, the son of god?

Abegi!

Your God is not so special. Muslims write god as "God" or "Allah"


"God" doesnt necessarily mean Yahweh

Can you do everyone a favour and point out where in my post I mentioned Yahweh?

Nice try to dodge.

Are you not a christian?

Hmmm? Who is your creator of the universe?

The Olodo is having troubles quoting where I mentioned Yahweh.

Now who is butthurt? The one who responded to the OP or the one who came running to condemn without reading what he was condemning properly?

No, the one who is denying his position and calling the other an olodo

You just made my point : everybody knows what we are talking about when we say god. To pretend otherwise is living in denial.

It's polite and courteous. One doesn't have to be rude to show untelligence.

what! So he should be courteous to your god only and not to others? Huh?
How about we be courteous to all the other GODs out there. Fair enough?

God is a proper noun like your name, Mount Rushmore, Nigeria, Technoscape etc. The name is capitalized as a syntax rule.

You're on overdrive, do you need to use the toilet? He the OP should be courteous and polite to fellow forum members who hold Deity in high esteem above even their parents.

are we saying the same thing or yes How about he be courteous to Pagan9ja, Okija juju, Ifeness etc? Or on the flip side, why should he be courteous to your god? Is she anything special to him? If you call your father daddy should I call him daddy too?
What deluded sense of entitlement!

nna guy na tiger battery I de use o. You fit help me with your halogen lamp?

All I saw was that you advised the OP to be courteous to fellow forumites by addressing their gods in capital. My question is, how does being courteous mean that you have to do what they do? He can respect your right to be religious but he doesn't have to respect your religion.

Take time o!

Well, that's not what i posted. Take your time, you will see the light.

@Op

the word God is just a title and not a name. The person holding that title (if you are talking about the creator of the world) has a name and that name is Yahweh; use it instead.

gods could mean Sango, Zeus, Thor etc. Indeed there are varying concepts of God as in Allah & Brahma but the reason it is proper is that God SPECIFICALLY refers to what is commonly understood (in any religious/philosophical context) to be the creator of the universe.

Why una de lie? You christians use God for your Yahweh and then use gods as a condescending term to describe other 'lesser' gods. Which one be "any religious/philosophical context"? Was Zeus not known as the chief of all the Gods? What is good for the goose is also good for the swan
