swearing God's name in vain, should it be banned from public schools? Options

[azn_r4pf4n]

I like to bring this subject up. Here's the question: Should swearing God's name in vain be banned from public schools?

I would say yes, it should be banned. My reason: Because of the fact that I'm trying to be religious and hearing things like, "Oh my ***," can offend me. It's like another way of offending somebody's religion.

Some people might say "No." A possible reason is that they aren't religious. Some teachers in my school don't allow people saying that term, "Oh my ***," because it offends Christianity, and it's the dominant religion in the US. Other teachers will let you say it because they don't care about that term that much.

Another possible reason people won't want to ban it is that it might be a "waste of a rule." How is that a possible reason b/c it's a "waste of a rule"? Consider the facts: Yes, there are a lot of Evangalistic Christian parents, but is there a lot of Evangalistic children? If there isn't, it would make that rule "a waste of a rule."

So what's your opinion?

well, it's not our fault you're easily offended.
it's part of our common language. you're gonna have to deal with that.
maybe you could work on your fault of being easily offended, instead of trying to change the way most of the country talks.

i really don't understand why people get so offended!?! when we something big happen. like a car accident for example, we are going to say OH MY GOD! (or gosh) it is just something that we all say and it is apart of our language. and i don't think it should be banned from school because that just might createblog controversy with other religions. thus, creating an even bigger problem.

i also think that you should not take personally. when someone says "oh my god" we all know that it is just an expression. we all know that there is only one god in christianity. if not, there would be 378478947982374375074 gods.









why can we just all get along?

wow, you're hooked on createblog. hehe.

and dude, just they cuss or something doesn't affect you. it's not like they're saying "CHRISTIANITY SUCKS!" they just don't believe it's bad to say it. it shouldn't offend you if someone says oh my god.

and like fae said, it offends us with you saying that your God is the only one we could be referring to.

there's no way you can possibly remove everything that offends someone. deal with it.
