It doesn't matter what website I'm looking at, the o is a -. (not just any o, only when in the word God.) The first time I noticed it, it was here on a post someone wrote. I had thought that maybe the o on their key board was broken. Then off and on I would notice the same thing more in different places. tonight I went to check out a site someone suggested and there it was again! This time the word Lord looked like this: L-rd and also G-d! I'm I going crazy?!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They consider that name itself to be so sacred that it shouldn't even be spoken for fear of offending Him. Because of that kind of reverence, one must even be overly careful of how anything that the name is even written on is disposed of when you are through with it. If you write someone who is an Orthodox Jew (and some Messianic followers of Christ) and use the name of God, they can't just wad it up and throw it into the trash. It has become such a thing that they do the same with anything that even relates to God. Name, title or description is not fully filled out. I don't use it for I don't see any difference between God and G_d.... we all know what it is speaking of and in reality to me it is the same. n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
