It is very annoying, but that's all it is. We'd have to bring back the Annoying warning, but people always hated that one cause it was so subjective.

I mean I understand, but it's all about the underlying context though. But ok thanks for explaining.

Well, the word "mico" is not used here
Funny how even speaking the same language it varies depending where you live, but definitely that user was reaching with the ma*ko thing.

That one and "ignorant" should be brought back. |
Offensive is basically the new Ignorant. They even recycled the definition.

The whole "using the religion card" statement is offensive. Just cause people are gay it doesnt mean that they cant be religious. I just came back from church right now and we actually talked about using the Lords name in vain and I find it very offensive Taylor stans use this as a joke
Quote:
"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Exodus 20:7

By them using the name as a joke I feel like they are personally offending my faith
They use the term "The Lord" which is basically what the bible refers to God as, and unlike other uses of the word "lord" they never refer to them as "The Lord", they say "lord of this____ " of "____ Lord"

Mess 
But let it go sis, I've kinda addressed this issue before... the fact that they capitalize her pronouns (like religious people when speaking about Him) just reinforce the DISRESPECTFUL meaning behind this bs... I mean this post alone:

Insofar as that Jesus Christ is the only being without sin, for God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
But otherwise, clearly She has the most goodness in the music world, and those certain people hating on Her have hatred and bile and wickedness in their hearts, so try to project that onto Her out of self-loathing.

Ok, I'm agnostic now but I was raised Catholic and it surprises how people who practice religion still not get what that (among other stuff from the bible) means.
Basically you shouldn't use the name of God, like the actual name, under any circumstances other than devotion and respect. "The Lord" is therefore used as a proxy term to avoid using God's real name.
In short, you can't be offended by anyone using the word "lord" because that is not, and never has been God's name.

this post is blasphemous, the Bible refers to God as The Lord, educate yourself on the topic and repent

Interesting. 
Is it a rare occurrence, or pretty common?
In any case, it's official, unreported posts aren't safe, ya'll.

Yeah Notorious KEN has a point, it does seem to be an inconsistency in the rules but I doubt the mods are gonna change their minds
