There's a Thing about not writing or pronouncing the direct name of God. (Which makes it silly to do in English, because that's not actually the ineffable Name, but...) It's the same reason why, when one is reading the Torah or other Hebrew sources aloud, and one gets to the tetragrammaton (YHVH), what one says aloud is "Adonai," which means "Our Lord" instead.

It all seems very Voldemort to me, but I'm not exactly observant OR reverent.
