CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
G-d?

To the best of my understanding, it's a sign of respect to G-d and a way to prevent misuse of His name. If it's written down on and the paper it's on is destroyed, some belief it shows disrespect.

It's a method for honoring the name of God that's based in Jewish tradition.....the vowels are omitted to show that His real name is unpronounceable, because He is so high and holy.
I believe that's correct, anyway.

I've seen it used by people who don't believe in God to reference him without really referencing him...
