See, it is okay to use Jesus Christ as a curse word or to swear. But if you dare to say Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas OR if you tell the truth about the murderous and perverted practices of the founder of Islam...the media will attack you.

Local Miami Florida media ran this story today. Obviously the media is unaware using Jesus’ name as a curse is offensive to Christians.

It is incredibly impolite to swear like that, given the obvious and reasonable sensibilities of the many devout and good Christians one might be surrounded by.

“F*ckingmohammed” would probably not go over too well in Saudi.

Did you read the story? The kid wasn’t testifying, he cursed when he dropped his Legos. His mom sounds like a real Mensa candidate...“So we was like, ‘OK, so what did he say?”.

Well, the article goes on to indicate:

“The disciplinary notice from Hope Sullivan Elementary School dated Jan. 4 said “He said Jesus Christ when he dropped his LEGOs he was cleaning up from recess.”

Oops

However, the student seems to have used it as a sign of exasperation, not in a respectful way.

And honestly, even when I was practically an atheist, it bothered me that using Our Lord’s name in vain was considered ok when mere 4-letter words were verboten! and looked down on.

I have no problem with what the school did as the kid was cussing.

What does the boy’s father have to say about this? Funny how these articles with mouthy moms never mention the dad.

Indoctrination centers despise their message being questioned.

Shebwill have to account for the way she raised her kids.

Had an aunt who’d say “Jiminy Cricket” instead.

Worked with a woman who used “Jersey City” instead

A few months ago I was three days into a new job, that was paying pretty well. Then I was notified that I was being terminated.

The firable offense was that I referred to the job as "an answered prayer".

It wasn’t that long ago when the use of any profanity, or non-profanity used in a profane way, was solved by saying that the kid needed to have his mouth washed out with soap.

At the same time, for adults, the idea that “politeness will be enforced”, meant it. Businesses embraced the motto that “We reserve the right to serve anyone”. And the police backed them in this.

There were laws against vagrancy, panhandling, petty theft, public disorder, disturbing the peace, and a litany of other offenses.

Teach your kid not to swear lady and he won’t be written up. Pretty simple really.

Whenever I heard an atheist at the jobsite using JC or GD I would mention that they are hypocrites.

They would usually reply “no I’m not” or “what do you mean?” And I would let them know that as an atheist they shouldn’t use words associated with the religions that they do not profess or not abide by nor believe in. They would disagree.... I would counter with the still small voice or caution about playing to close to the slippery ditch and falling therein.

Then I would get that “well what do you believe in?”
My reply was “I believe that you are a hypocrite, get back to work.”

Seven year olds should stick with f***, h***, d***, s***, or similar age-appropriate expletives when dropping their leggos. But they will repeat what they learn at home. So parents beware.
