It amazes me how upset these ACLU and other groups get when God is used in a manner which involves praise or uplifting of the human spirit. However, when people are mad or angry and God's name is used in a profane manner, not ONE word is raised to defend how much it VIOLATES God Himself! I, for one, really dislike it when people say, "Oh my ___" because He is very personal to me, and I am offended for His sake and because He stated in Exodus 20:1 "Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God's name in vain"

One place I worked I started responding to this kind of language by saying, "Please, Don't call me by that name in public." Some caught on, some got tired of the joke. All stopped taking His Name in vain.

In the same light, one day somebody suggested that everyone in a particular department were "f***ing morons." Once again, offended by their language, I said, "We don't care what they're doing on their private time. We need to be concerned with this memo." It cracked the room up and the speaker gave me a high-five, but the language stopped.

Just a thought - worth what you paid for it.

Shalom.

Agreed. Notice how they delight in movies and art that denegrates the Judeo-Christian G-d. That is covered under the 1st amendment, donttcha know.
