Yes, a tragic typo there!
Boy didn't think there would be so much difference of opinion on this!

God is normally splet with a capital 'G' if you're an English speaking Christian. The word is normally splet with a capital 'J' by Jews and a capital 'A' by Muslims.
Who cares? There is no God but God.

Capital G

As a matter of respect, I'd use a capital G. "God" is, after all, a proper noun. Only if you never capitalize your own name or the names of anybody else would I suggest using a small "g".

Capital G

It's capitalized because it's used as if it were a name (some traditions don't believe in saying the name of God, so this is as close as they get). Just like Yahweh, Allah, etc.. When referring to figures of a higher order, it's gods because it could mean any number of beings.

spelled not splet
The earliest written form of the Germanic word "god" comes from the 6th century Christian Codex Argenteus. The English word itself descends from the Proto-Germanic *ǥuđan. Most linguists agree that the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *ǵhu-tó-m was based on the root *ǵhau(ə)-, which meant either "to libate" or "to call, to invoke".
The capitalized form "God" was first used in Ulfilas' Gothic translation of the New Testament, to represent the Greek Theos.

Depends how you are referring to it. If you are referring to *a* god, or gods, then lower case. However, if you are referring to one specifically (meaning you're using it as a name, rather than a title) it would be God, with a capital. Just depends whether you refer to a name, or a title, really.

It depends. If you are referring to a specific god, IE. the Christian God, it needs to be capitalized as it is considered a proper name. Same as mother and father. If it's a general statement, lowercase, if it refers to a specific person (in this case, deity) uppercase because it is considered a name.
