Sometimes I accidently type 'God' without a capital letter, or I miss-spell it, and I don't notice it until I've finished the sentence, and I always feel that I have to go back and fix it.
And another thing... are we meant to type Satan's name with a captial 'S'?

Yes BB... God is hunched over your shoulder, watching you type, ready to blast you into smithereens if you don't hit the shift key at the right moment...
No, you never capitalize satan, even though it is a proper name, as a sign of disrespect for him. But you always capitalize God, even though that's only His title. You should also capitalize any pronouns that refer to God too: like He, Him, His, etc.
For the last time, you dumbbo, god isn't his name; it's the English word for deity. But, yes, everytime you write it without a capital G, or misspell it (how is that even possible???), you ARE committing blashemy against the holy spirit which is the unforgivable sin. You're already doomed, so you might as well just give up and die.
Bonnie, There are millons of children who dont have safe drinking water, and you waste our time with this tripe.
Style manuals generally say to capitalize Satan, God, the Lord, Allah, Beelzebub, Molech, the Prophet, etc. when speaking of a specific entity. Godly pronouns are not generally capitalized in Bibles - this is, I think, mostly a 20th century practice.
Sometimes when I type the word good, I miss an "o" and it ends up being written as god. I feel the need to go back and correct it (like I do with any all typos I notice). Does that mean that maybe it's god who makes me type it incorrectly to show me that I'm wrong in my atheism? Anyway, in all seriousness I never once can recall typing the word god or gods incorrectly, but I do not capitalize it on purpose.
Actually, "satan," in the OT is not a proper name. It's a description of the sort of semi-deity that it is. It is more accurately translated as "the satan," and he was a demi-god on Yahweh's council and worked for Yahweh, by Yahweh's orders. The whole "Satan is an angel that fell from heaven and is working against God" is a later Christian invention and perversion of Old Testament books.
Your problem is not God or Satan, it´s the homeschooling, which didn´t tell you how to write propperly and that they´re capitalised because they´re PROPPER NOUNS, theology apart.
Oh, it's DEFINITELY Satan. Without a doubt. He's bored, you see, and likes nothing better to do than run around making sure fundies make as many typos as possible.
No, Satan makes us write God with a lower case "g" with a pen with almost no ink left, so we can't correct it. And there's no other pens around in a 4 mile radius, and you're car is broken down and you get leg cramps so you can't walk to get a pen. So then you have to live with the fact that you wrote "god" instead of "God".I don't think that Satan makes us do these things.
Yes, BonnieBee, the Creator Of The Universe cares greatly about how YOU write his generic-title-turned-pseudo-name, while he can easily exist with the prayers of starving Christian children in South America ringing in his ears.Makes perfect sense, after all, BonnieBee is an English speaker and we all know God speaks Elizabethan English. [/sarcasm]
Sometimes, if I am writing a paper and misspell "God", the spellchecker asks "Dog?" Clearly, spellcheckers are designed by Satan to make my brain ponder things it shouldn't.ETA : As I was typing this comment, I accidently typed "Stan" instead of "Satan." Clearly, South Park and all people named Stan are of the devil!
Technically, God and Satan are titles, but are generally used by Christians as proper name substitutions - so capitals are appropriate for both.shaitan , which means (military) general ) is either Lucifer or Beelzebub, depending on the depiction. Most Christians merge them into one figure, anyway.
And to answer your question, it's simple human error. It's not Satan that makes you misspell "capital," is it?
Yeah then what about when you're referring to Zues and Apollo, you say god and gods, so is that Satan too, or should I say satan?
Bonnie, you need to realize...the Shift key is the tool of the Devil. Thus you must use the Caps Lock of Righteousness.
(Oh, don't look at me like that. They do it anyways.)
It's a Freudian slip, BB, deep down you really hate the son of a bitch, don't you?
SATEN!!!!111!¡¡¡!!!1k!!!!11!!!43!!!1!!
Yes, Satan needs a capital S, because Satan is a proper noun.
ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU TYPE IT?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
