Yes, so you saw that post and then you accused me of by inference or directly:
-(telling) people that their must sacred words are just drivel.

-universal hatred of (Muslims) because of what twelve Saudis did on 9/11.

-condemning all Muslims

-hating millions of people whom you've never met.
Where did I do that?

I see in another thread you have complained about cpaptalk.com:
On other forums people stay on topic and are polite and respectful of others. Does CPAP cause people to be unfriendly and/or act harshly?
How does that square with the false nasty accusations you threw at me?

I think Roster makes a good point, that euphemisms for "God" and "Jesus," such as the ones he mentions, are often used for comedic effect although being offensive to some in certain circumstances.

As I read Roster's statements, he was implying the position of equal respect for all faiths and all ways of referring to a deity.

Making jokes involving religious matters is always a calculated risk in public. But my personal favorite public religious humor was the monologue by Elijah recorded at 1 Kings 18:27. (He mentions travel and sleep, so I think I'm still on topic for the forum. )
At noon, Elijah began making fun of them. "Pray louder!" he said. " . . . Maybe he's day-dreaming or using the toilet or traveling somewhere. Or maybe he's asleep, and you have to wake him up."-- 1 Kings 18:27. (Contemporary English Version)
I apologize in advance to any who may find the above Bible quote offensive.
