This is New York. I’m don’t think anyone is surprised by swearing.
But then there’s Church and I am constantly surprised by the way the words for OMG are thrown around. I remember using the LORD’S name as one of the big 10, but nobody around here even notices.
One meeting I attended the leader came in and said, “J—— it’s cold in here!”
I wanted to say, “He didn’t set the thermostat,” but I get in enough trouble at my Church as it is.
I wouldn't have hesitated. Using the Lord's name in vain is bad enough, but in His Own House? But then, I've never been accused of being shy... ;o]
Jamie doesn’t know many religious people. One day she apologized for saying, “OMG,” and asked if we were really, really religious. I said, “Yes, but that doesn’t mean we always manage to watch our mouths successfully.”
