[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]11:25 here-- But why would that "offend" them? Would it make sense for them to be "offended" when unmarried people make out? What's the difference?

They think taking the lord's name in vain is wrong because it's a sin. Which makes it a sin against god, not them. So why are they offended? [/quote]

It is not that they feel that others are personally offending or insulting them, it is that they feel it is disrespectful to God. They love God, so they don't use His name used in a trivial or disrespectful manner and may find it a bit sad or upsetting when others do.If you heard someone speaking of someone you loved in a disrespectful way, wouldn't you feel sad or upset, or even offended, even though the remark was not directed at you personally? [/quote]

Maybe, but I also accept that people I interact with don't necessarily feel the same way I do about things and I don't think it's their responsibility to protect me from being offended.[/quote]

Some people are not as socially savvy as others.[/quote]

True -- most socially savvy people recognize that their religious restrictions are theirs alone, and aren't offended by the fact that others are not bound by those rules.[/quote]

You are stubborn as hell. Why are you continuing to argue? You clearly feel that it is stupid for others to be offended. So fine, keep offending them. [/quote]
