Using the name GOD on a web blog
Rabbi Ari Shvat
Question
Dear Rabbi,
I would like to ask if it is permissible to have a name of a web domain in using the word GOD.
The blog content will be of the following:
1. Personal religious experiences with god presence
2. Travel to Israel as mission receiving from god
3. Political views of divine entering Mashiach coming
Thank you very much for your input,
Sincerely,
Answer
The English name of God is on a lower level than the original Holy Hebrew names- which we don't dare pronounce or write, and can be used for constructive purposes, such as a religious website name.
