Nobody's saying 'capitalize "gods"'. They are saying 'capitalize God, because that is his name (by way of circumlocution), and names get capitalized'.

Grammar doesn't give half a fuck about your theological beliefs. Names get capitalized. Period.

I thought his name was Harold, that is what they say in church. And larry agrees.

I think you belong in a secret thread further down the page, bro. And his name isn't Harold. ;)

It is in the prayer.
Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Harold be thy name...

I don't actually have a horse in this debate: I'm a Quaker who's shacked up with an athiest (hmmm, what does the capitalization in that clause mean? Does it simply express the differing belief systems or does it hierarchize them?); I know that it's grammatically correct to capitalize God when referring to a monotheistic deity, but I don't really care if people break that rule for cause.

Or, maybe that is my horse: Rules are meant to be broken, but you have to know what they are first in order to make the rule-breaking meaningful.

And Grammar (see how I just capitalized that word to anthropomorphize it?) might not give a fuck, but that doesn't mean that language/linguistics isn't ideological. (At least, everyone in this thread gives enough of a fuck to be debating it here.)

It is fluid though, and evolves through use.
