RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God

Another problem with avoiding the term God out of courtesy would be that both official scripture (all Bibles and theological texts, prayers, songs) and informal language, institutions and speech are in use. God is such a catchy, quick and strong term and, God forbid, nobody understands when I say "Grüß Gott!" (Greeting God!,as they do in Bavaria) :)

I think that would be too much politeness to one side.
