    lol..does that offend you or something? Why even bring that up? Who cares? maybe he's not religious. I don't ever capitalize "god" but i capitalize names.

    In the phrases you are asking about, however, the reference to God is rather casual, and there are those who would deny that such phrases refer to the one supreme God at all. Lowercasing God in such phrases is an attempt to obscure the reference to God.

    The problem, of course, is that such phrases are possible violations of the Third Commandment, which proscribes taking the name of the Lord in vain. The question before us is whether it is possible to fool God with capitalization tricks. The Grammar Hotline is not qualified to answer this question.

    I will say, however, that the English language has a rich tradition of Third Commandment evasions. Capitalization decisions are the least sneaky of these. Such words as gee, gosh, golly, by criminy, egad, gadzooks (I especially like gadzooks) are all curses mangled to finesse the Third Commandment.

    But I suppose you'd like a definite answer. Go ahead and capitalize, and the Devil take the hindmost.

    I'm glad to know if there is a god that he is busy worrying about how people type his name on a message board instead of dealing with the millions of people who are dying of starvation. He has his priorities straight. What an egotistical douchebag.
