I did say, Christ Gerald, to get this going. I apologize if it offended anyone.

Subject: Re: [TechTalk] References to Christ.

Hi Group,

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.

Yes. Penny, I'd like to sincerely thank you for speaking up about
this. Some of us are practicing Christians and I myself, being a
practicing Catholic Christian, am one of them and I find that using
the name of Jesus as a curse word is extremely offensive. I always try
to respect the beliefs of others, even if I may not personally share
them, and I try to avoid language which might be considered offensive.
I think it would be helpful to please consider this.

I mean, bash each other, or laud each other, but can't we keep
references to Christ out of it, maybe?
