When God Speaks

I can only abbreviate this one because even writing it sends shivers down my spine and not the good shivers. The word is used as a curse word. It is GD. I absolutely despise this word and when I hear it, I usually ask the person speaking it to refrain from using that word.

I will usually turn off the TV if I hear it no matter how good the show may be. I do not even like writing it. That is how much it bothers me.

I am a spiritual person, but not religious. I believe this word should be illegal to use and if caught using it, fines should be administered. God has absolutely nothing to do with the situation people place Him in and to use His name in the matter in which it is used is absolutely appalling and shameful. It angers me to the core.

The worst of this usage is when it comes from those lips who claim to know and love Him. Would they use their children’s name in that matter? I doubt that would ever come from their lips and if someone can say that it would not be an issue, they are a liar. I am not the judge and I do things that I’m quite sure makes others wonder about my relationship with God, but when asked what word would I delete from the English dictionary or language, I pick GD.

This word has always bothered me as far back as I can remember. I may have used it at most, three or four times and when I did use it, I quickly repented and apologized to the person I said it in front of. I despise the word to my core.

Of all the nasty words one can use, why that one? Does it give an extra punch to one’s spewing? Does it make one feel vindicated? Does it make the one that it is thrown at feel the person’s anger? No, it only makes the one using it look ridiculous and leaves me wondering about your truthfulness. If a person loves God and truly believes He exists they would not dare utter such an offense at God and if they do, they quickly repent and admit their wrongdoing.

I will close with that because I feel my anger boiling. Such a little word with huge ramifications if used is the way I see it.

Be blessed…
