Apparantly god is a bad word
I was listening to the radio the other day (San Diego 103.7) when the song "Panic! At the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies" came on. I was always raised (even as a Christian) that the following words are cuss words: Fuck, Bitch, Shit, Ass, Damn and maybe Bastard. However, I guess this particular radio station thinks that god is a cuss word while damn is not. The line in the song goes "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?" and they muted out god, but not damn. This kind of bothered me. Anyone else?

it might just be that they have really crappy equipment for sensoring and so they sensored to early. but i would find it hilarious if they really are sensoring god and not damn...
Of course they do, they don't want thousands of letters from atheists claiming a seperation of church and entertainment.
The can not say "god damn" on television or the radio thanks to the FCC. So they can bleep 'god' or 'damn' or both. South park only bleeps the 'o' in 'god' when they say 'god damn.' This is just absurd censorship. Had the song said the words 'god' and 'damn' separately there would be no bleeping. I view censors the way that mattshizzle views venture capitalists.

It bothers me that people care more about being offended than using logic and reason to see if there is any validity in what is being said.
For example.
If a scientist says, "The world is fucking warming up and we will be fucked if we don't do something about it" people ignorantly ignore it because they have been taught that taboos are ok.
Neither "god" or "damn" should be sensored. Just like a priest should not be arrested for publically condemning homosexuality. If one wants to counter such an absurd claim, instead of demanding that the preist be censored, use that same bible to SHOW them the absurdity of such because that same book also calls eating shellfish an abomination.
It is kind of similure to martial arts, use your oponant's own weight against them, don't deny them an oportunity to get in the ring with you. Just know that your position is solid and use it to your advantage by using their own flaws against them.

I'm an election officer so last Tuesday as we're looking up people in the poll book we also have to announce their name for the poll watchers. This guy comes up and his name is "Christ." Apparently he pronounces it "Christe"... well how the fuck am I supposed to know that? I say "(Last Name), Christ." He replies back, with the correct pronunciation. I say sorry and am about to move on to the next person when he says "So is Jesus." His wife then calmed him down.
The guy seriously thought I'd taken the lord's name in vain... I kid you not. Wtf?
Yeah, I think they should get rid of the FCC or at least not let them censor for content.
You know what sickens me. If you wore a cross around your neck no one would bat an eye. But if you wore an atheist hat doing that job, somehow magically you would lose your objectivity, and both the left and right would demand you take that hat off. WE are equal as long as we are silent.
Which pisses me off that these same people demand voting polls be put in Churches but bitched a fit when Muslims put one in a mosque a year or so ago.
He is letting his insecurity show by demanding you not pick on his all powerful daddy who could (according to him) kick your ass without his help.
It is like a midget standing in front of the Terminator shouting, "Dont hit him, you might hurt him".

This just had me laughing thinking about a news story I read a few months back. It was another one about how much kids cuss and it mentioned a Catholic school where they had an assembly where a nun read off a list of words and phrases not allowed. That had me laughing my ass off picturing a nun in full habit on a stage reading off "Fuck. Cunt. Asshole. Motherfucker. Cosksucker. Suck my balls. " I can't imagine how the kids weren't all laughing the whole time.

I think the worst case of that I'd heard was where a guy was trying to say "asshole" and they bleeped "hole".
