Ars Technica Review Slams Duke Nukem Forever

Kethinov writes "Ars Technica writes one of their most negative reviews of a game in a long time, referring to Duke Nukem Forever as 'barely playable' and 'one of the worst games from a major studio in quite some time. The jokes border on hateful. The graphics are a blurry mess. The shooting is unsatisfying.' Their verdict? Skip this one."

This god myth is something else. You can't see it, touch it, hear it, or in any way recognize that it exists other than a few irrational assumptions. There may be one or more, depending on which piece of classical fiction people believe in. Some believe it looks like a man, a woman, or even a plate of spaghetti.

I'm as much of an atheist as you; but I think your taking this a bit far. First, this has nothing to do with the issue at hand, it ads nothing to the discussion (nor does this reply, admittedly), you just posted it hoping to get some rise, or to show off your "New Atheist" credentials. Bully for you, but who cares? Your not going to (de)convert anyone, no one is going to change their capitalization just to make you, some random anonymous slob on the internet, happy.

Second, capitalizing "God" is actually completely appropriate, regardless of if you believe in him/her/it or not. "God" is a proper noun, and as a proper noun it is capitalized. This has nothing to do with the actual, or perceived, existence of the noun. You capitalize "Atticus Finch", even though it is obviously a fictional character. So even if God is purely a work of fiction, her/its/his name would still be capitalized.

I've never been to Narnia, but it still is a capitalized proper noun.

So, your comment isn't really about grammar or proper punctuation. Your comment is just you yelling "hey look at me, I'm an angry atheist!". To which I reply, "good for you, but who cares?"
