#3rd commandment

[just-bible-musings]

Can someone explain to me why the F word still gets censored, yet people take God's name in vain and condemn people left and right in media and on social media?

The 3rd commandment:

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Exodus 20:7

This includes omg, jc (or just j or just c), gd, and probably a few I've never heard.

And as for "damn" and "hell':

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 6:37

Biblically speaking, "condemn" means "send someone to hell," such as all the verses in the Pauline Epistles where he talks about how sins condemn a person.

I remember when I used to watch Supernatural, before I came to Jesus. I always thought it was funny when they would censor the F word. ("What the f-" "Find something, Ash?") But in a show about monsters and demons and angels, where several of the characters literally went to hell, they still said "damn" and "hell" at the drop of a hat.

And I just have to wonder, why?

Now, I don't know about other people, and maybe this isn't anyone's intention, but I've often thought that when people say "f u" or "go f yourself" or whatever, that they're saying "go get raped." Maybe that's not the intention, but that's the mental image I get in my head.

Please understand, I don't say this lightly. I've never been sexually abused, and I don't mean to offend anyone who has been. Rape is one of the WORST things that can happen to a person, probably 2nd only to dying (and I've known rape victims who wish they'd been killed instead- and a woman who's never even had sex, yeah, I can understand that).

But my question is, why do we consider it worse to curse someone's body than to curse their soul? The body will die, eventually, but the soul never will. And why is it worse to say a bad thing about a person than about God? God is higher than any human and has an unfathomable amount of power, because he is omnipotent.

Is it just because rape (or even just sex) is seen as a real threat that can happen to anyone? Whereas both God and hell are thought to be abstract ideas, or even mythology, by so many people? Is it because rape is something that could happen to you, but God and hell are "just stories" and they can't hurt you?

Just something I've thought about from time to time and decided it was time to share.

Aziraphale and blasphemy

You know what I find hilarious? When Aziraphale and Crowley see God talking to Job we have this little exchange:

Aziraphale: "Oh, my God." Crowley (not yet seeing what is happening): "Blasphemy, angel? That's not like... you.". Aziraphale (pointing out literal God): "No look! Oh... My God!"

From this conversation we can conclude that both Aziraphale and Crowley consider it blasphemy to "use the Lord's name in vain" (the 3rd commandment).

Well, but you know when Aziraphale does it again? And this time for real? That's right! Paris ⬇️

Which leads us to Aziraphale's perfectly sensible list of reasons to break God's commandments:

Doing the right thing (which includes debating complicated moral questions to justify the decision and then still beating himself up about it afterwards)

Crowley in that outfit

And I love that!

I'm drafting a sketch comic rn since my friends wanted a better visual on Emmet's lobotomizer 💀 This hopefully shouldn't take too long, here's my favourite page so far.

Not that it affects the story in any way but I think it'd be cool if the respirator and visor just form over top of his face when he needs it, like a force field. The electricity is coming from them activating and spreading over his face.

Also fun fact about Emmet and his weapon: Emmet refrains from talking about it to new recruits or people he hasn't spoken to before because it inevitably ends in disgusted faces and mental notes to not hang around him. It's one of the things he especially doesn't like about getting transferred to the JAKDF because he has to explain it to several new captains and commanders, as well as officers and recruits. In the meantime, he at least gets to utilize some more normal weaponry as he adjusts to the new people and routine.
