Charlie was not happy that my boyfriend took our other dog to work with him today. We had a chat about it... he was inconsolable.

My dog does a much longer and more forlorn version every time a fire truck or ambulance goes by the house with the sirens on 😂

Your dog is saying, “G-d speed, first responders!”

Did you just try and censor “God”?

As u/TwoFingersWhiskey said: “Some Jewish people do this, to avoid misusing the name or for some, it is forbidden to erase/delete/destroy the word so they simply avoid writing it.”

These sorts of "loopholes" to get around religious rules always intrigue me. I'd imagine the "spirit of the rule" is more important than avoiding breaking it based on some technicality... But I'm not religious so what do I know

It seems like the whole point of being Jewish is figuring out how to not actually have to be Jewish while simultaneously not embarrassing your grandmother.

That's true! It's also true for a lot of things. For example this cute dog here having a conversation doesn't have to concern me at all, but I still find it fun!

I just change it to "dog". Not that I'm religious or anything, I just kinda prefer dogs to the christian god that I was taught about.

Dogs do more good for humanity anyway.

Dog is my copilot. I might even let Charlie here take the wheel on occasion.

Wait, lol, why did you censor (?) god? You even manually capitalized it, but then also censored it 😂

Yup! I don't do it, but every time I see "G-d," my brain goes "my peeps! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ "

ETA: Chabad's take on "g-d" vs "god."

u/zarfenkis 14d ago

First off.

Jews name for God isn't God. This is stupid.

Secondly. Do you guys inanely censor lowercase god as well? Or is this just a catch all nonsense to ignorance?

u/Calvinbah 14d ago

What fuckin difference does it make? It doesn't affect you.

u/Eecka 14d ago

The most inane part to me is... if you're spelling "G-d" and everyone knows you mean "God", how does that not count as the same thing?

Like if my boss told me "stop writing the word 'PENIS' on the meeting room whiteboard, because our visiting customers find it weird" and then next time I instead write "P3NIS", is that going to keep the boss happy?

"God" isn't even gods name. It's just a term in english language used as a placeholder for gods actual name. By using the word "God" to refer to the Abrahamic god you're already censoring yourself. It's like writing "bl-ck people" instead of the n-word. And even more "godspeed" in particular has only the ethymology rooted there. It has barely anything to do with god.

Look, I'm not religious at all, but this seems pretty pedantic. If I were religious, I would assume that God understands my lack of archaic languages and appreciates the respect I instill upon his name in the translated title.

My neighbour's German Shepherd does the exact same thing when the ice cream man comes around lmao.
