High intellectual status is negatively associated too with things like comedic relief.

The believer can believe that fantasy doesn't have no basis in reality. I forget the writer who explicated as much. They viewed all creation as part of what's real in some ways psychosomatically.

Writing "G-d" instead of God is a fairly recent custom in America. Many believe this to be a sign of respect, and the custom comes from an interpretation of the commandment in Deuteronomy 12:3-4.

Basically, G-d and L-rd are a way of avoiding writing any name of God out in full.
I believe it follows from the Hebrew. The Hebrew of the Bible (OT, of course) is a language without consonants. The vowels are 'breathed' and not 'voiced'. Thus YHWH, et cetera.
