I just read a recurring editorial titled “Ask The Rabbi.”  This is what was silly (other than the fact that I just spent some time reading “Ask The Rabbi”).  Some of the more traditionalist Jews abstain from writing the English word “God,” instead choosing to write “G-d” or “Gd.”  However, there is no traditional Jewish law that prohibits a person from writing “God” in any language other than Hebrew. 

I just don’t get out G-d is different than God.  An “o” is a symbol just as much “-” is.  I suppose it’s a sign of respect.   But to me it looks more like an algebra problem. 

G minus D equals GOD.   G= GOD + D    G= (GO+1)D    [G/(GO+1)]= D

Wow….and I thought the low point of my day was reading “Ask The Rabbi.”
