Not sure if I believe in God, but I capitalize His name out of respect

It's because its a title. Also that is complete bullshit, what about religion with multiple gods? What, are they just a bunch of the same christian god? you must've been dropped on your head as an infant.

im not sure i understand what you're trying to say because it doesn't make sense, because God = christian god specifically, god = nonspecific name of other gods, other gods have specific names, i.e. Buddah

first off...wut?

secondly, it's because of proper nouns. as in, if you are Christian, you pray to God just as in Islam you pray to Allah, just as if you were Greek you would pray to Apollo. it's not Apollo, the sun God. it's Apollo, the sun god. It's the Greek god's because they are all god's and each has a specific name (Apollo, Zeus, Athena, etc) you use to refer to them; they are god's but they aren't called God.

Thoughts: yes because capitalizing God refers specifically to the Christian one.

Also, just because someone believes in something doesn't mean it's true. But, just because someone has disbelief about something doesn't mean it is false.

You don't know shit about Buddhism. "Buddha", I'm assuming you're referring to Siddhartha Gautama, didn't think of himself as a deity and told people that he wasn't a god. Simply a Bodhisattva who was trying to be a great teacher by teaching others the way of reaching Nirvana.

Also, there are many "Buddhas" not just Siddhartha Gautama...

Siddhartha was also very skinny in real life. Not fat like all of the paintings and statues of him depict.

No actually not at all. Just memory from my Asian/European history class. I liked learning about the Vedic Tradition and the different religions that came from it.
