While nearly all of our humor has been accepted with open arms, religious blasphemy did NOT go over well. So, if you're on a run with Lifers you may not want to say things like:
Goddamn
Great Zombie Jesus
Holy Tit-Fucking Christ!
Great Googly Moogly, the son of God just sucked me off
They have their ways, we have ours. Try to play nice.

You're hilarious.
That's fair though.... I'll stick to normal cursing.

Bah. She is annoyed that Jesus plays Horde, that's all.
I'm planning to replace my usual blasphemies with "Great Caesar's ghost". Superman reference and adulation of the other J.C. for the win!

What I honestly and genuinely don't get is that saying 'GD' is fine. ...But ... it's the same thing, with the same meaning and the same intent, so isn't it still blasphemous?
I'm so confused. :(

Look. I don't want my character profile all over the goddamn internet.

It's RELIGION. You can write G-d but not GOD because...
/dodges lightning bolt
You can say 'YOU GOSH DARN MATHA FACKING HAYSOOS SANDAL WEARING TURD' because GOD knows the difference, see? He sees that you are TRYING!
But, yes, play nice. They might research you and send you Christian HATE MAIL, then you'd really be in trouble.
What if it's offensive to be so damn religiously blind? Would they change? Ok, fine, I'm going...

I would love to play nice! I don't like making people uncomfortable, as a general rule (which is why I like to surround myself with people like me). The problem is that I can't understand the rules when they don't make any logical sense, and that makes me TEH EMOSAD. XD

It's the difference between writing YHWH and Yahweh. One is a reference to the name, the other is the name itself. The latter is blasphemous, the former is not.
I don't have any problems respecting people who dislike this because of religious reasons, either. I used to sneer, fashionably, at people who were deeply into their religious convictions, but I believe now that it's something to be respected even if I, personally, can't fathom the problem. Also I say 'goddamn' frequently so that is difficult to curb XD

I don't think religions were built on rigorous logic. There's no flowchart for these things.

I have to say, the thought of gleja trying to make a flowchart or loot tables or such for various religions makes me grin :D

Also, I think this is a good time to say that I'm a little uncomfortable with the Lifers being able to see our post-raid stuff and call Gleja a greedy whore.
I know that's sort of hypocritical because I wouldn't be nearly as annoyed if, say, AGNES called Gleja a greedy whore, but that's because we've been playing together a long time.
I suspect it's supposed to be a joke, but we don't know them well enough for that kind of joke yet. It's like Val calling me a whore versus someone I barely know calling me a whore. With Val it's hilarious, because I've known him a while. With someone I barely know, I'd castrate them with my very glance! RAWR.
I think what I'm trying to say here is that I'm feeling too much familiarity here too soon, and I'm wondering if there's something we can do to address that. I don't want to ruin things for the alliance, and I almost went OFF on that post until Aro paged me and told me who it was. Because until then I was like WHO IS THIS NEWB CALLING GLEJA A LEWTH0R I WILL KILL THEM. WITH FIRE.
Because you know. I can beat the shit out of my little brother, but if some other kid so much as thumps him with a paper football, I will kill them.
