Would you consider banning the term JFC?

OP here, and no, this is not the same thing. JFC is an affront to Christians. It is deliberately taking the name of Jesus Christ in vain. Yes, I consider it offensive.

Oh FFS. I am Jewish and say JFC a lot - and I can tell you I have never once said it because it's "titillating" to irritate Christians. It's just a common phrase that expresses that you are vehemently shaking your head at something.

Thanks for confirming what we already know--this is a thing used by non-Christians against Christians. Find another phrase to express your vehement head-shakes, because this is offensive. What if MFT for mazel tov became popular. Offensive, right?

I see. So you are a hateful bigot and the only thing stopping you from expressing it is that you feel it is socially unpopular to do so.

Thanks for shedding some light into the mind of a persecuted Christian.

Isn't it time to be back out protesting against Satanic mask-wearing ordinances or something?

Wait, what? You said you're Jewish. You confirmed what somebody else up-thread (not me) said about non-Christians loving on this phrase.

And the bigot is the one who claims all Christians are out protesting against Satanic mask-wearing ordinances. That would be you, bigot.

Get a grip on yourself.

If you get to request a ban because you find that offensive, why can't other people ban things that you say because they find them offensive?

So you understand why some people find it offensive, but it’s too much to ban it? So why can’t I say the N word? Or f*g? I know those words offend some people but I’m not black or gay so I should be able to use them, correct? And if you don’t like it just avoid the threads that use those words.

If you can’t tell the difference between JFC and the n word maybe you should stay off the internet

They both are offensive to a large group of people. What else is there to know?

+1. They are both intended to incite, annoy and otherwise antagonize others who are different from oneself.

We are truly not thinking about you at all when we use the term JFC. Unlike you, trying to see how you can offend someone else.

Who is "we"? I don't even believe you when you say you're not thinking of how you can offend someone. Look at your childish behavior on this thread, calling bigot on no pretext, going all-caps, pretending all Christians are crusading against satanic masks. If that's multiple people acting like toddlers and shaking their little fists about their right to insult others, G-d help us.

And you don't speak for everybody who uses the phrase. Don't even pretend.

you think only non-Christian people say JFC and they do it purposefully to persecute Christian?

Who cares. If it's offensive to a reasonably large group, it should go.

We’re just reclaiming JFC and taking back its power.

Wait - do you truly believe we are thinking about Christians when we say JFC? You honestly believe that?

Wow, so you're not only crazy but incredibly self-centered. No. Really, not thinking about you. It's just a phrase. I don't think of you when I say damn either.

Somebody as reasonable and tolerant as this would never use offensive language against another group. No way.

That ought to be your litmus test.

Another tolerant and reasonable user of JFC. No way this critter could use it abusively, right?
