Deut. 12:3 is a prohibition against erasing the name of G-d, so some, just to be safe, write it w/ the dash so that they never write His name out to be inadvertantly erased or destroyed...

the world order of Baha'u'llah

a global social, political, and spiritual arrangement ordered around the teachings of Baha'u'llah in which all the earth becomes one human family united under the teachings of God, the Father of that family
