I don't know what your religion is, but that is not the strangest

thing

posted here in the 7 years that I have been here.

That is because you are a netkook.

BTW, just what *is* your religion?

I am a follower of G-D.

Georgi Dimitrov?
Why would you be a follower of a Bulgarian Communist?

Gerhard Domagk?
Why would you be a follower of a German chemist?

Giovanni Donati?
Why would you be a follower of an Italian astronomer?

Gaetano Donizetti?
Why would you be a follower of an Italian opera composer?

George Donner?
Why would you be a follower of the man whose travelling party resorted
to cannibalism?

Gustav Dore?
Why would you be a follower of a French painter?

Gawin Douglas?
Why would you be a follower of a Scottish poet?

Gaston Doumergue?
Why would you be a follower of a French statesmen?

Guillaume Dufay?
Why would you be a follower of a Flemish composer?

Georges Duhamel?
Why would you be a follower of a French writer?

LOL! You must really be dumb not to understand......

What do you think would happen if you wrote "God" instead of G-d,
Dodo?

Well, hopefully you would come up with new material. You have gotten so
boring, I can fall asleep reading your posts.

If Dodo wrote the word "God," the magical red string around his ankle
would fall off, and then the goddess Rachel wouldn't bring him good
luck anymore.

You would have to read Talmud to understand the superstition:

Avoda Zara 17b-18
They then brought up R. Hanina b. Teradion and asked him, 'Why hast
thou occupied thyself with the Torah?' He replied, 'Thus the Lord my
God commanded me.' At once they sentenced him to be burnt, his wife to
be slain, and his daughter to be consigned to a brothel.

(The punishment of being burnt came upon him because he pronounced the
Name in its full spelling. But how could he do so? Have we not
learnt: The following have no portion in the world to come: He who says
that the Torah is not from Heaven, or that the resurrection of the dead
is not taught in the Torah. Abba Saul says: Also he who pronounces the
Name in its full spelling?
=======================================

As the footnote says, "The Tetragrammaton, the four-lettered Name of
God, was fully pronounced only by the Priests in the temple when
blessing the people. Everywhere else it was pronounced 'Adonai'. For
full treatment of the subject, v.J.E. IX, 162 seq."

So the man, in giving expression to his piety, made the mistake of
pronouncing the Name. At once they burned him to death, killed his
wife, and forced his daughter into prostitution.

Say the Name, go to Hell. Let's just say the rabbis have strong
feelings about the magical name of God.
