Dude that's just how it is. You can spell god however you want, but the bible spells God with a capitol 'g', so don't start knocking people down if you are ignorant about their religion.
You're the exact kind of people that make us atheists look like a bunch of pricks.
You are both retarded. Capitol is the building, retards, and capital is an uppercase letter, morons. god should always be spelled with a lowercase "g," even at the beginning of a sentence. I do this because it offends people and is blasphemous.
The 'g' is capitalised because in the context of The Bible and Christianity, 'God' is a name. The name of the Christian god is God in English language translations of The Bible. He or it may also be referred to as Yahweh, a Hebrew name for the Jewish and Christian god, or by other non-English names. But all those names will have a capitalised first letter in an English language context, as that is standard in English grammar.
It's like if you named your son 'Son'... Or your pet cat 'Cat'. You see?
But this isn't only reserved to the Christian god. The 'A' of Allah, the word for the god of Islam, is capitalised as it is also a name. All the names of the gods of ancient Greece have capitalised first names when written in the English language. This is standard. It just happens that in English, Christians tend to call their god 'God'. Understand?
I'm Canadian, which makes it all the worse. Sometimes we use a British spelling and sometimes an Americainized one. Happy to speak with someone in the centre of Civilisation.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that. I did it intentionally to prove a point.
Please tell me again that this entire Universe was created for Christians. Maybe the entire Universe was created for you?
I am very disappointed to inform you that we were all wrong, including myself. I have 'inside' information.
Is it normal to believe in God

You're completely wrong, the Christian God is always spelled with a capitol 'g'.
Also you spelled it with a capitol 'g' yourself, so you look pretty stupid right now.

You call us retarded for misspelling a word?
I'm not even a native speaker!
The 'g' is capitalised because in the context of The Bible and Christianity, 'God' is a name. The name of the Christian god is God in English language translations of The Bible.

I know... I wasn't really arguing that it should be not capitalized; I was just joking...
For me it doesn't matter anyway because in german god is spelled with capitalized "G" ("Gott")
Incidentally I don't care how God/god is spelled...
Capitalized, moron. Capitalized, not capitalised.

British (english) sucks but you're right!
