“God” an Obscenity?
Posted on January 31, 2007
The attacks on Christian expression never cease. Only the excuses vary:
“A censored version of the film The Queen in which all references to God were taken out has been removed from Qantas flights. The Oscar-nominated film starring Helen Mirren, which had the word “God” removed, was being screened on Qantas long-haul flights until the mistake was picked up. “God” was bleeped out seven times during the film, which centres on the Queen’s relationship with Tony Blair in the weeks after the death of Princess Diana….
The company said an overzealous young employee removed “God” after being asked to delete all swear words. Management claimed he failed to distinguish between the religious significance of the term and its use as a profanity.

Nice troll.
“God!” is an obscenity. Some kid read his instructions wrong and also deleted innocuous uses of the word. Quit playing victim.
“God!†is an obscenity.
Clarify please.
I’m referring to this. Is it not offensive to devout christians when God’s name is used out of frustration or anger?

Yes, but I wasn’t understanding your statement.
It is also proper to capitalize Christian… especially when referring to “devout Christians”.
It’s a good thing I don’t work for Qantas.
I get partial credit for capitalizing “God”, right?
