I’m not religious personally but TGI Fridays is a very popular after-church spot (according to all of the religious/former religious people I asked). Why are none of them mad about this?
How could they actively support a restaurant so sinful it includes a sin in the title?
It’s a common thing religious people say “taking the Lords name in vain”. This is the thing people would call a sin. It wouldn’t be the same if phrased differently.
Exactly. How come you’re saying it?
My question is about what people who actively use that phrase would be upset about. Someone who says the lords name would be upset about “the lords name” specifically.
There’s a difference between being upset about some guy talking to some girl and being upset that your best friend John is flirting with your wife. The specific labels happen to matter even if they aren’t the terms I would use in any other circumstances.
But it’s not “the lord’s name” because it’s not “the lord”, it’s “their lord”. Why would you include yourself as a subject of Christians’ “lord”?
No but I would talk about Santa despite not believing him.
This whole debate is stupid though… I used a very common phrase because it’s a common phrase that people use. That’s pretty much it. I’m done replying.
