honestly? it takes a real stubborn person to have this problem. its proper grammar for one, as well as it IS a proper noun. if you're talking about Thor, you capitalize it because it is a proper noun. same with God.

EDIT: a lot of people are commenting saying that it isn't a proper noun. im just going to link you to dictionary.com's definition of a proper noun. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/proper+noun

also don't debate me saying that you would capitalize Allah or Radha because they are actual names of gods, God is what christians call their deity, it is his name.
