Cursing on TV

Spare me...you had to know these holier than thou Bible thumpers would hijack the thread and make it a showcase for how religious and righteous they are. People like that just make me sick to my stomach. They claim to "read" the Bible or know a lot about it, when in actuality they know very little. If you don't like the way this thread is going, then lock it down or refrain from asking such questions in the future.

CommonTater, to clarify some misinformation that you are spreading...I did not "quote" the Bible as you claim, either directly or indirectly. "Thou shall not curse" is not in the Bible, so how can you quote something that isn't there. Also, retelling a story about the Pharisees is hardly "quoting" the Bible. Paraphrasing, perhaps, but not quoting.

My original analogy (CommonTater=Modern-day Pharisee) strikes ever more true with every post you make. You have mentioned how religious and "Christian" you are because you have virgin ears and only associate with those people who think like you do (a cult, perhaps?). You also claim to be able to quote the Bible all day long and such other useless pleasantries such as feeling persecuted (a common complaint among the hypocritical Christians) and the promise to "pray" for someone. "Honey", I don't need your prays. If I want to talk to God, I am more than capable of doing that myself, thank you. That is, of course, unless you think you're the only person with a direct line.

So please spare me your holier-than-thou-hypocritical brand of Christianity. Save it for the pews on Sunday morning.

You have gone too far with your insults. I pity you.

You know I'm sick of this; Cut it out. It's against the rules of this board to attack members like that. If you don't quit you're going to be reported. CommonTater hasn't done anything wrong. You're nothing but a bully. Bullies aren't welcomed here. The OP asked you to quit the fighting. Do it. If you don't like this thread then you leave.

I think this is very rude. Commontater has not done anything wrong or against you (and I don't appreciate the Christian remarks myself).

As for cursing on TV...call me a prude, whatever, maybe I am. I feel that in 75% of the situations it's used in, it is unnecessary and words that are much less profane (or not at all) could be used to substitute. Viewers aren't going to leave because there is less cursing.

JayTN, stop it with the insults and rotten attitude. Keep it up or you'll find your stay here will be very short. Consider yourself warned.
