The steeples on churches are officially known as Obelisk. Obelisk are associated with Baal worship. Their are large obelisk at Washington DC and at the Vatican. Baal, in Hebrew, which is the original language of the bible means "Lord". This is a title in both languages and not a proper name. However, it is most often associated with a pagan deity. the Bible states that people would forget the name of God for Baal. Notice in most any bible the name of God has been replaced with LORD in all caps. Baal worship has supplanted YHWH worship.
It probably seems like a small thing to most people, and most people say "God understands I'm talking to him when I use other names".... But careful study of scripture indicates otherwise. Sure, He knows what your intent is, but he makes it clear He doesn't expect to be called outside of his name.
