Level 2 for lustful people...go figure



I'm tired of being told that saying "God damn" is taking the Lord's name in vain - that's a misinterpretation of the one commandment that is considered "unforgivable."

You'll be forgiven for foul language.

You won't be forgiven for killing, manipulating, molesting, etc in the name of God. Using God or the bible to justify a sin is the unforgivable offense of "taking the Lord's name in vain". Thats' what the commandment means.

I'm no longer a believer in any particular dogma, but as a former theology student, this one has always gotten on my nerves.
