To wish people would stop saying 'Jesus' all the bloody time

I can't read a thread on here without someone saying "Jesus Christ" or "Jesus wept" or similar.

I'm not a prude AT all and I have no issue with people swearing but as a Christian I find it highly offensive when people throw Jesus' name round in a negative way, without a thought for others' feelings and religions.

Most people wouldn't dream of using words that were offensive to other religions so why is it acceptable when it's 'Jesus?'.

This is a genuine message to ask people to PLEASE think before they post/speak.

I can't see where the OP has commanded anyone not to say anything?
(you said this bit)

I think that's the whole point of this post, or have you drawn another meaning from the plea?

Where have I commanded anyone? Confused

Where does OP command anyone? Asking someone to think is not commanding them. Duh.

Why would I do that when I am commenting on your posts to @monsteramunch? I think the only person confused that they are two separate posters is you tbh

Well, I don't know, I guess because you offered to cut my food up for me, you might also want to do this?

MinervaSaidThar · 26/04/2023 13:28

Mycathatesmecuddling · 26/04/2023 13:26

No I asked which bit was unclear, not how I could make it clearer

Ok, it was all unclear. Bullets of posts would be clearer.

I'm not sure OMG is the same as JC because it's not specifying anyone/thing.

It was you that brought in the commanded concept... you're now arguing with yourself, which is pretty good going for a Wednesday lunchtime, how high are you?

monsteramunch · 26/04/2023 13:30

You asked me why I replied to you when you were speaking to Seas.

Except you weren't speaking to Seas or quoting them.

You were literally just directly speaking to me. See pictures showing the exchange in question.

So why would bullet pointing posts from the poster not involved be relevant at all?

You just got it wrong, that's all🤷🏻‍♀️

Not sure how to make it any simpler tbh.

If you cannot follow your own posts (and I do genuinely believe that now) then that's on you to fix before you throw around accusations at other posters that they have done things they havent

I can't see in the quote history who brought up the command concept (pretty sure it wasn't me though) because LO AND BEHOLD, you've selectively excerpted again 😂

If you would just quote me properly, all this confusion could be avoided Wink

Yeah but @Seas164 excerpted a bit of a post to you and responded to it, which caused all the confusion.

I am awaiting the bulleted timeline for further clarity.

Love, it's only you that's confused. I'm not running round for someone who uses Duh to make a point. I've got primary school kids who can put forward a better debate.

As a wise man once said

If Jesus saves, well he'd better save himself
From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death

I find it is largely people brought up Catholic who blaspheme as a swear word. The words are not swear words if the religion means nothing to you.

SmallFerret · 26/04/2023 13:38

This is a genuine message to ask people to PLEASE think before they post/speak.

Funny that you object to "Jesus" but not "bloody", which as a Christian, you should know is shorthand for swearing on the Virgin's name - "By Our Lady".

PLEASE think before you post/speak such offensive words.

Maybe you could get them to post instead of you? They may be more coherent!

Also, quoting a whole post is much easier than copying and pasting an extract, so less running around for you.

monsteramunch · 26/04/2023 13:41

I literally shared screengrabs of the full posts @MinervaSaidThar

You're determined to be disingenuous and pretend not to understand when you were just mistaken originally.

Absolutely bizarre.

Sigh. I was referring to this post. My post was about @SpeedSnap , @Seas164 took an excerpt and made it about the OP. That is what caused all the confusion.

Nobody else was confused.

You accused me of responding to a post aimed at Seas. I didn't.

You were confused and thought that incorrectly.

It's pretty simple mate, nobody else is struggling to understand what happened!

Probably best to leave it there I guess. As I say, everyone else is clear on what happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

Er, it's @Seas164 you should be annoyed at. Why not ask her why she turned my post about @SpeedSnap into a post about OP?

You clearly were confused because you couldn't see the above.

Yes, I'm pretty clear that you were all confused. HTH.
