I think that people get confused and think that if they are spelling it out then they are speaking his name in vain. Kinda like when you say it in vain. I don't know, but it annoys me. It is OK to spell the word God.

OK, guys & girls, just stop right there.
There are several religions who find it disrespectful to utter or write God outright. For example, it was a tradition to refer to God as "He who has no name."
In other words, they feel YOU are being disrespectful by glibly using his name.

they think god's name is sacred. if they write it out anywhere, there's a possibility that it can be destroyed, and they don't want that to happen.
that's how it was explained to me.
