That's why the spelling variations of God and god exists. "God" is the real God; those other gods are phonies. I'm not sure what the spelling "Gd" is meant to suggest. jttmab How incredibly religious of you. as for my spelling of Gd, it is my preference.

Why do many people write God with a dash ("G-d")? by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg It is forbidden to erase or deface the name of G-d, and this prohibition applies to all languages. We, therefore, insert a dash in middle of G-d's name, allowing us to erase or discard the paper it is written on if necessary. In prayer books and holy writings G-d's name is written properly, for there is no fear that one will discard a holy text. [Although "G-d" is not His name, it certainly is a word which is reserved for Him alone (as opposed to "Creator" or "the benevolent one" which can be used in other contexts as well). We show respect to G-d by not defacing or discarding a word which is designated for Him.] askmoses.com
