words that make you grit your teeth

CC: if someone made a statement on here that was offensive to Muslims or defamed Mohammed, this group would be on them like bees on honey.
Likewise, the unnecessary use of God's name is offensive to Christians.

Oh boy.
'God' does not belong to Christians and Christianity. Lots of religions refer to God or to their various Gods. If I have my own God in my heart that I believe in and want to say Oh my God, that's my right and if someone else is offended by my mentioning my God then that's their problem- they can't expect the rest of the world to follow their religious rules. They are not the boss of me.
I happen to believe that even if I didn't believe in any God and wanted to say Oh my God that's my right and it's not 'defaming' anything. My beliefs are my own and they should be respected too. I don't request that others practice them though. If some religion thought of dancing as being the work of the Devil does that mean no one else should ever dance in their own daily lives, so as not to offend or defame them?? Likewise, if some Muslims think it's offensive to Allah that women drive cars am I supposed to not drive so as not to offend them?
Too many people telling others what they can do and say if you ask me.

oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. the prostrate gland EEEEK!

YES! I can never believe that one when I hear it. Plus, it reminds me of when my dork 50+ year old brother told me I should really be sure to get a prostate checkup the next time i go to the doctor. Ai, how clueless can you get??!
