why do people (like teachers) require us to use capital letters all the time? i mean really we should only capitalize God's name and anything to do with God shouldn't we? i mean, he deserves it and i don't even think we should capitalize anything but, God's name. don't you agree?

I agree. The servants of THE LORD GOD even address HIM as THE LORD JESUS CHRIST because they are HIS servants. But those natural men who are not servants normally writes the word Jesus Christ or simply say Jesus or Christ.

You devotion to the Almighty is admirable, but that wasn't the purpose of capital letter. Capitalization was intended to mark important events in a phrase. It's beginning, names, places and the like. This is often meant to clarify the importance of one sentence over another. If a sentence had a capital letter in it besides it's beginning, then it must be talking about something worth noticing. This is why we capitalize God.
I hope this was useful, best wishes.

Wow. I've heard a lot of complaints about the educational system (my mother is a school principle and my mother in law is a teacher), but I've NEVER heard anyone complain about having to capitalize proper nouns, etc. before.
This is a new one. Seriously, does it take you THAT far out of your way to make a capital A or K or whatever instead of a lower case one? Wow.

In preperation for the real world. You see, once you are out of that institution called "school" your a s s is no longer sheltered and all the mistakes you make become mountains and no one will catch you if you fall.....
Basically because you need to know for the future.

Nope. My god doesn't require a capital letter. Netjer doesn't care. Netjer loves us no matter what.

Well, I disagree.
I believe in proper language structure and I don't believe in god.
Yeah, that's right, I don't capitalize "god." Does it hurt your feelings?

Proper nouns and the first letters of sentenses require capitals. Please note that non-monotheists also use the English language, too.
Be glad you're not German; all nouns get capitalized.

technically its not a name. so umm...no not really. besides i could capitalize it and it doesnt keep me from disagreeing with some of the things hes done, particularly to his own son which no good father would do to his son.

Nope I dont agree, the Devine is all well and good. but has no business in our school system. concidering that God isnt even the NAME of the god spoken of in the bible its weird that we have to capatlize it at all. (god isnt Gods name, it says in the bible that gods name is unknowable )

You know what? I don't think God gives a hoot. I do it out of respect.
