Names and places have to start with capital letters.
God is a name.
Therefore, yes of course.

Well do you spell your name with a capital and do you have respect for God, because you know I be careful asking about questions like that because you may need Gods help one day. Best of Luck.

Yes, because God is a name, and all names start with a capital letter just like your name and my name. We should also respect God.

Depends on the usage. When you are referring to just any god like Zeus or Thor, then it is a noun. and you use a lower case "g". When referring to God as mentioned in th Chistian and Hebrew holy texts, it is a proper noun like a name. You should therefore use a capital "G". But this is really a question of grammar rather than spirituality.

As god is more of a description, like human, than I think it should not be capitalized. If it is a proper name like Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Zeus, or Siddartha then that you would capitalize.

Because it's a name and even Santa and Bigfoot are spelled with a capital letter.

I capitalize God because it is a proper name. I also capitalize He and His when referring to God because it is a matter of respect to those who believe. I respect the beliefs of others, even if they do not respect mine.

I explain God as the main source of power and exsistance, I call myself god in the fact I'm a part of his power and his son, all things that God created are god.

No. It gives much more power to the idea of any god than is deserved. God does not exist, so why should I pay that idiotic idea that much respect?

It depends.
if you are referring to gods in general, then no...
Thor was a Norse god.
If you mean God in the biblical sense, then you should, as it would be a proper noun as it actually (his?) name, rather than a description.
God flooded the earth.
It has everything to do with grammar... not about belief.
