Bible Note: Is golly a bad word too? I think that's being a tad legalistic. There are people who truly used to curse (I was one) and when you say things like gee is violating 10 commandments and offensive when we used to really violate the 10 commandments and were truly offensive before, it makes like a why bother attuitude, esp. if someone is a new Christian or maybe even just thinking about it. I sincerely believe Jesus is more forgiving than you in that catagory. |
