So I’m hard at work last night trying to finish up my play in time for this weekend’s reading, right? And because a major component of the play is this church organization that some of the characters are involved in, the words/names “God”, “Lord”, “Jesus”, “Christ”, “Holy Spirit”, etc. appear numerous times.  And I realized that I haven’t been capitalizing them all.  Now then, the fix for this is simple, I just do a replace-all to go through and make sure that they all appear in the same format…

BUT!

…therein lies a strange problem for me.  See, the “God” that these people refer to is not the same god that I hope exists.  The god they’re talking about is this unforgiving, unmerciful, petty, conniving, materialistic entity…more like one of the Greek gods if you will.  So if they’re talking about some other god that I don’t want to believe in, do I capitalize it still and call it “God?”  See?  See how stupid this is?  I like to worry myself over ridiculous items like this.
