I told you why it was in big font.

The original post might have had words in bold. But it looked liked you made the word bigger.

For the purpose people knew what I was referring to.

This was an originally interesting thread which seems to have descended into the realms of the bizarre. Most odd...

Agreed. I think phrases such as "jesus lord" are fairly commonly used. It's not foul language, not swearing. It might be a phrase some people wouldn't use but that doesn't mean others shouldn't use it if they wish. If anyone chooses to be offended by it, that's their problem.

Of course blasphemy is swearing - many swear words (like bloody)come from religious language.

What on earth has happened to my thread? Does anybody know how I get all the petty non-related stuff removed, please?

If you report to Admin, I'm pretty sure that they can - it was valid question and some good responses/advice.

Report every post you want removed. Or ask them to have a general look at the thread and clean it up.

It's blasphemy. A child couldn't get away with speaking like that in a nursery or school, even a non-faith school.

Yeah but last time I looked, blasphemy isn't against the law. Blasphemy is meaningless to many people. Probably to the majority of people in this country.

And we're not talking about a child here. If a grown adult wants to say "jesus lord" on a public forum, they can do. People are free to take offense if they want to but they shouldn't expect others to refrain from using words that they find offensive because of their own beliefs. If none of us were allowed to say anything that some other person might find offensive, then we'd never be able to say anything.

Fair enough, but it's similar to swearing in my opinion, not least because a child would be disciplined for it in school and I think it would be treated the same way as swear words.

Along with the eff word, I wouldn't say it in front of my children because they'd be punished in school for saying what they thought were normal words, and the other kids would steer clear of them.

It doesn't offend me. I'm not religious.

It depends what you mean by disciplined. They might get a telling off, but I bet in some schools it wouldn't be a formal disciplinary matter.

Some kids come from backgrounds where parents really don't care very much about them and someone saying Jesus lord might be mild in the scheme of things.

Also, other kids steering clear of them? I hear kids of around 8 or 9 and up swearing a lot, I bet that for some kids its cool and it does make me cringe when I hear an obviously primary school kid saying effing this and effing that.

I think some kids wouldn't steer clear of kids if they swore, many kids will go through a phase where they think swearing is cool as I said and they might eff and blind because their mates are doing it, well away from their parents or grandparents ears.
