If you say ‘Jesus Christ’ you’re taking the Lord’s name in vain, regardless of whether you believe or not it’s blasphemy.

Whether you give a shit…that’s another issue entirely.

Yep I’m with you — it’s blasphemy.

And as to where to shop in Canberra — I get a lot of things at Fang at Ainslie shops. It’s dangerous going to get milk at the IGA because I could end up spending money on a dress!

Hey.
Love the jeans and shirt – how skinny are you?!?!?!? Re: blaspheming – maybe it just depends on all who are within earshot and whether anyone is offended? You may also like to consider whether God is listening… and everywhere… so therefore always within earshot… and if blaspheming is infact just offensive to God, then surely it doesn’t matter who else is listening!??!?! See what wonderful discussion points the youth of today bring up?!?!? Keep on styling.
Love ya.

well, the bible’s rather vague on whether it’s just hearing or saying. In fact, the bible’s rather vague on whether taking the lord’s name in vain actually means cussing – it may mean being flippant, falsely believing, preaching with an exterior motive etc… Nevertheless, for centuries the church has interpreted cussing as blasphemy, just as it interpreted Onan wanking on a rock back in Genesis as justification for vilifying contraception, abortion, pre-marital sex and a good hand shandy.

But if we go by the church’s interpretation, let’s put this is context using the other commandments. If you see someone kill another person rather than doing it yourself, is it still not murder? and if you watch someone take what isn’t theirs rather than doing it yourself, is it still not theft? but in all these cases, they are the ones going to hell, you were only watching, so who gives a toss.

Not Onan, that’s for sure. God killed him.

nice shoes by the way.

These comments are awesome! Never thought the yawn-inducing topic of blasphemy could be so amusing . . .

Now LOOK, young lady, being clean all day does not make working in an office worth it. I worked in an office once for half a day and that’s enough for me. Wear your smudges with pride! Think of the fun you’re having!

P.S. This photo makes you look like you’re letting out a troublesome fart. (had to be said)

Real classy, username “Azz” (whatever your real name may be); did you ever consider she could just be drunkenly teetering forward?

Azz – Yeah totally. That’s what I said. Prefaced very heavily by my state of non-religious beliefs.

The Peahen – Is that where Tom Quigley used to be? Or is there now another a cool shop at Ainslie? I’m SO out of the loop…

Jen – It’s an illusion! Although I haven’t had an alcoholic drink in a month. Maybe that has something to do with it! Ah! Of course! I wasn’t even thinking about God hearing it! Loving the Christian input!

Roberts – That’s exactly what I was trying to say! Thanks for the reference points. I believe I was with your wife when I purchased these shoes…

Nadist – Yes these are the Smaggle buddies. Az and Roberts will only comment on the controversial stuff. Or if I look constipated. Jen is also a friend… she was my only boss until I was 21! Tis true about being dirty. But after today I have very little skin left on my fingers and having pretty hands and clothes is looking REALLY tempting right now… Making beautiful rings seems a little redundant when I have construction working hands! You’d know what I’m talking about… do you ever get tired of wearing leggings and leotards all day?

Az – Your face looks like an arse. All the time.

And I comment on you clothes from time to time! I’m not one of these fly-by-nighters like Roberts (whoever he is. Are first names supposed to be plural?) who just pop in to try to look intelligent. Probably just did a wikipedia search.

Discovered, damn you Azz. I just went to wikipedia, searched for considered philosophical speculation based on Judeo-Christian teachings with obscure references to early biblical mastubators and cut and pasted the whole thing into the post. You’ve discovered the source of my wisdom.

Now if only i could find the late-developing four-year-old you get your fart jokes from.

Azz – yeah you comment on my clothes when I look like I need to fart. Much appreciated though. Looks great on Google. As does the word ‘fart’. I get many many fart hits.

Stu – I believe the late-developing four year old you’re referring to is called Jobbo. Also I miss you. Much wine drinking to be had when I’m back in the Berra.

Those jeans look fantastic on you!

Baby, I’ve DONE leotards (in my training) and I ain’t never wearing one again. (They have no bust support for us child-bearing types.) I’m in racer-back singlets and jogging tights, thankyou. But yes, I have absolutely no call whatsoever to wear pencil skirts, which of course makes my heart yearn for them . .

Blasphemy, but only in the frame of reference of the believer.

Let’s say you believe in “the holy potato”. From your point of view anyone tucking into a spud is a blasphemer. Does that make them blasphemers objectively? Hardly, because it’s a subjective concept to begin with.

Fashion therapist – thanks!

Nadist – Ah I see! Well we all have our work attire burden to bear…

Serpentine – Nice to hear from you love! Where have you been? I think it still counts whether you believe or not. Murder is murder whether you believe it or not. I think it being offensive is different to it being blasphemous.
