Wat??? My response was a direct response to what the poster literally said! I quoted a brief portion of Scripture that referenced Christ, whom the poster himself mentioned first.
Thanks, browser2920.
Your response wasn't related to the topic of the thread. Rather, you were bringing into a discussion of flu shot effectiveness a debate as to whether using the word Christ as an exclamatory remark is acceptable. If that is the issue you would like to address, by all means surface that in the moderation discussion thread for follow up.
The "that's so gay" is not in the same category. That remark associates being gay with a usually bad or messed up situation. It is a slur to a group of people.
I recommend you follow up in the mod thread. It's a good topic to discuss. The use of the names of gods brings up an unusual twist because not everyone believes in the godliness of the names used, nor the books they are mentioned in. For example, if Christ is to be deleted as it is offensive to some, what about if someone posts "By Thor's hammer!" as an exclamatory remark?
I'll leave it at that for this thread. If you'd like to explore it further, post a question in the mod thread.
Thanks.
