G~d?

I knew you would be the first to question that.

G~d?

G~d =God

Some people (apparently the person who wrote this) believe it is disrespectful to use the name of god other then in prayer, same goes for writing

[a2jfreak]

I'll take that as a compliment.

A non-tech site I am a member of had this discussion. Many Orthodox Jews believe this, as do some Christian sects.

I believe in not taking The Lord's name in vain, but I guess there are some much more strict about it than I.

I try not to say His name when exasperated, but sometimes I do out of habit.

What bothers me very much is to hear and hear/see people take Jesus' name in vain. Not that it's any worse, really, but to say "G~d" is common-place, but when people say things like "Jeezus" or "Geezus" it is offensive because it looks like a deliberate irreverence towards those that believe in Christ. You never hear a Christian say, "Oh Buddha!" or "Oh Allah!" for two reasons: 1 It's not at all common. 2. It would be extremely disrespectful towards those that think highly of Buddha and towards those that praise Allah.

Anyway . . . :)

How delightfully hyper-sensitive.

Oh God, or Jesus Christ as a mark of exclamation or quick repentence originally started as a quick way to ask for forgiveness for doing something wrong or unbearably stupid.

As a product of eventuality, the phrase became so common that it was adopted into dialect as a common phrase having lost all meaning.

You can thank your fellow Christians for that one.

Deliberate irreverence. :rolleyes2

[profdlp]

I don't think it's fair to criticize someone for living up to their beliefs. He wasn't dictating what others should do, merely stating what bothered him.

I'm mystified as to why you would think that a Non-Christian's use of a religious term is the fault of Christians.

The bible says specifically (one of the Ten Commandments) not to take the name of God in vain. It also says to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". You don't have to believe in either of those, but why criticize those who do?

You still Da Man, though. :wave:
