Have no fear, I'm extremely well-versed in the history.

My point was that using "semitic religions" will make readers think of judaism and islam, while "Abrahamic religions" covers christianity and sikkhism as well - plus anyone else that has the sky-daddy originally known as YHWH as its boss.

Yep. I quite frequently comment that moderate Talmudic judaism (how's that for a concept!) is probably the most benign form of religion available outside of Eastern religions.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I often try to figure what percentage of Cardinals are actually pragmatic rather than devout. Some evangelicals, I know for a fact, are completely atheist and taking the money.

I'd prefer to have a goddess :ihih: .

I can tell you why I do it. Just for fun, honestly. I like the c word because it's a fun word to use. I'll say it in nice ways too.

But when using swear words in harsh ways... Most use them because they are so very dreaded that they are voodoo for most people.

The effect of a word will determine its use.

It is definitely the most interesting word in English.

Use of it in "inappropriate" situations can be highly enlightening and revealing.

I agree with your words dizzydoll..too! same!

what?! all at once? how is that?:eek:

I think we can thank a lot of recent comedians for those things. I only hear about religious biases from comedians, really.
