CatLady, This is only a guess based on seeing that version of spelling of God many times, but it seems that spelling, or lack thereof, is used mostly by those that really do not believe there is a God, or that He has nothing to do with the lives of humans, as Agnostics believe.

The name God itself, is merely the spelling of the name of the Supreme Being that caused the universe, and all therein, to be created used by English speaking people. By any name, He is the ONE. He is the omnipotent, and omnipresent, Deity for all Jews and Christians, regardless of what He may be called. Of course, those believers of different nations, using different languages, have a different word for Him, such as Dios in Spanish, etc., but His Glory is not diminished by whatever name He may be called.

Mostly Orthodox Jews do not spell out the word, because it can be destroyed or desecrated.

I, as an agnostic, do not write it out to indicate that I am agnostic and that it is my belive that G-d is unknown and unknowable.

Perhaps I should write it as follows:

G?d
