So? It doesn't really matter why they don't find it offensive.
Well I think the answer is nothing. So if we say blasphemy shouldn't be allowed on TV or on public forums then we'll have a huge list of other things that shouldn't be allowed either.
I was just pointing out that I wasn't debating how offensive the word is because there isn't really a sensible answer.
What is the point then?Sic said:

Doesn't evolution prove we descended from monkeys?
You only have 200 year old scripture to back up your belief.
Anyway, that aside, i do admire your sincerity yantorsen and your willingness to suffer us fools trying to bate you into an argument.
I will check out this audio file and let you now what i think.
Enjoy your weekend people.

ok im just doing it now
it's specifically about points that Richard Dawkins, makes in his book "The God Delusion".
I'm reading the Ancestor's Tale by Dawkins atm, very interesting. Might try and get my hands on the God Delusion aswell.
there already is for broadcasting lol.
To the question I asked, and that is exactly what I mean about not getting an answer
And no, I'm not willing to budge unless some compelling evidence is given. More than a translation of a translation anyway.
sorry, hotmail won't let me attatch files over 10mb, but if you have a hotmail IM acount, I could send you it over MSN?
imh(yeah right!)o, not blaspheming in front of people who will find it offensive is just common courtesy. If it's part of your daily vocabulary then that's not a problem, but that's no reason to inflict it on people who will find it offensive. Much the same as you don't say **** or **** in front of your gran - not because it's not part of every day vocab, just because it's not really on doing stuff like that.

you are literally too hilarious. you are the point at which hilarity loops back on itself and becomes its own opposite. In short, you are not now, nor will you ever be funny.
a joke about ginger hair, I can't believe you went there. It's not even obvious or anything.
any chance you could use www.sendspace.com ? I wouldn't mind having a listen

by asking God to send someone to hell, is cursing someone, no?
those who curse overs will cursed themselves, by God, so clearly God does not aprecieate it. Plus we do not have the right, power, or wisedom to decide on somebodies fate.
Ok I get that. But sometimes you don't know whether the people you are talking to are likely to find it offensive. If you were giving a talk to a group of christians then it would be obvious you shouldn't use blasphemy, but when your audience is more general, how are you supposed to know?
Yes and that list is based on the how offensive the general population perceive it to be on average. Whether blasphemy is considered too offensive or not is their call I suppose, but from my experience too few people find it offensive to really warrant censoring it.
tell me that's a typo
well ive added you, you online atm?
If I was giving a talk to a general group of people then I would try not to be offensive [edit] if someone was offended, I'd apologise.
this is all assuming that you actually care about offending people - if you don't, just carry on as you were

well it's not essential you say it, so there's no need to say it.
Well it depends on your reason for being there. If it's to entertain people then there may well be a reason to say it.
Also how are you supposed to know what other things you shouldn't say in case someone in the audience is offended?
"Well it depends on your reason for being there. If it's to entertain people then there may well be a reason to say it."
comedy can be an exception, as it's not usually meant.
but we are talking about when people use it outside of that context.
"Also how are you supposed to know what other things you shouldn't say in case someone in the audience is offended?"
well you don't, so you just don't say anything that will offend people, it's called thinking before you speak.
