The discussion started because someone said
"Christ, Gerald," as a form of emphasis. This is offensive to some people
as for serious Christians, it is taking the Lord's name in vain. That has
been made clear and any such expressions, using any religious language that any
believer in any religion may find offensive, along with vulgarity, is not
allowed. Further discussion is off topic for the list. I ask that it
be stopped now.

Subject: Re: [TechTalk] References to Christ. As I recall in this thread, nobody was taking the Lord's name in vain. There was a reference to someone accidentally placing the letter 't' on the end of a fellow whose name was Chris. I had done that accidentally years ago on another list. I playfully referred t that incident to lighten up the rather intense discussion concerning the smart phone usability issue--since it was getting way off topic anyway; I was doing nothing more. Some of you so-called Christians are a bit thin-skinned if that offended you! With some of the references in the Bible itself--a few of the Apostles were a bit playful. I can think of Peter himself who seemed to be playing dumb at times with Jesus. On 2/22/2020 7:17 PM, David Goldfield wrote: > Yes.
