NASA bans the word 'Jesus'
Fox News ^ | February 8, 2015 | Todd Starnes

The name of Jesus is not welcome in the Johnson Space Center newsletter, according to a complaint filed on behalf of a group of Christians who work for NASA.

The JSC Praise & Worship Club was directed by NASA attorneys to refrain from using the name 'Jesus' in club announcements that appeared in a Space Center newsletter.

"It was shocking to all of us and very frustrating," NASA engineer Sophia Smith told me. "NASA has a long history of respecting religious speech. Why wouldn't they allow us to put the name Jesus in the announcement about our club?"

Liberty Institute, one of the nation's largest religious liberty law firms, threatened to file a federal lawsuit unless NASA apologizes and stops censoring the name 'Jesus'.

Of course, some people on this site use it as a swear word.

Sadly, and need to repent.

I cringe every time I see or hear it. Why would anyone believe it is okay to use the name of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords as a curse? Growing up in the South, I rarely heard that. But then I graduated from college and began a job that required heavy travel all over the nation. I couldn’t believe how common that kind of cursing was, and not just from men. As a Southerner, I’m not sure I had ever heard a white lady curse in any form. Certainly it was a very rare thing.

Obviously, can’t do that no more.

Obviously they can do it but they would have to actually mean it because they are risking their career which is sort of what God requires of those that serve Him.

I read somewhere Allah was originally the Arab moon God, before Moo-ham-head decided to make him the only the God, other than that black rock of course.

And God’s last name is not dam. Even in heart i find such grievous, and in a way it is a affirmation of the power of His name. Ever hear someone invoke Muhammad to dam someone?

"NASA" bans the word "Jesus"

I wonder if this includes expletives people so freely throw about?
