god -> God

(or god -> gods)

I feel that if he is an atheist, he would not capitalize god.

minshirui minshirui 10 de setembro de 2010 10:52:16 UTC do 10 de setembro de 2010 link Permalink

Uh, I don't think that's a correct grammatical analysis. "I don't believe in money." <-- no need to capitalize "money".

If it was "I don't believe in Scientology." Scientology would still get a letter, even though he doesn't believe/respect it because it is a proper noun.

minshirui minshirui 10 de setembro de 2010 11:00:16 UTC do 10 de setembro de 2010 link Permalink

Umm, "Scientology" might be a proper noun, but "god" isn't.

I think you misunderstand exactly why "god" is capitalized. It is done out of respect, not because of any grammatical feature of the word. It is for this same reason that when a personal pronoun, such as "he" or "him" refers to god, it is also capitalized.

However, I can see that what you might be trying to say is that god with a capital 'g' denotes a specific entity, i.e., "the one god" and that "god" without the capitalization does not refer to this entity. This, I feel, is debatable.

You know what, I'm just going to let go of this sentence. I feel like there are reasons to be sought for either capitalization or lack there of, but I guess I'm just not that interested in the debate. =P

From the second link it would appear that
"I don't believe in a god."
or
"I don't believe in the Christian god."
would be OK with lower case, but
"I don't believe in God."
should have an upper case.

dont -> don't

belive > believe

Don't you believe in grammar?

No... but I believe in politeness

alexmarcelo alexmarcelo 18 de maio de 2012 18:50:29 UTC do 18 de maio de 2012 link Permalink

"God" here should be capitalized.
