-- [ From: John H. Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --


This always stirs up a firestorm about free speech, but in respect for each
other  it WOULD be cool to refrain from using the names each others Deities
in a profane way. To use someones Deity's name that way reflects   a lack of
respect for our fellow man, whoever he is, be his Deity named Jesus, Allah,
Budha, The Great Manitou, or whomever, whether his relegion springs from the
Bible, the Torah, the Koran or tatooed writings on the  blackened old hide
of Lazarus.


Yep, it would be very cool, very respectful, not to use those expressions.


IMHO.
