The Media's Misuse of God's Name

If you have ever watched a movie, one of the things you'll always hear is the misuse of God's name. Almost every script written by Hollywood includes the expression "Goddam." The use of this blasphemy is so prevalent in movies that many people think this is a "normal" term to use. So you hear it everyday from other people, even in the workplace. I have a question for these screenwriters. What do you think would happen if you replaced "Goddam" with "Allahdamn" instead? How do you think Muslims would feel? So don't you think Christians would feel the same way? Of course, since it's open season on Christians only, Hollywood wouldn't mind offending Christians by blaspheming God, but they certainly wouldn't offend Muslims by blaspheming Allah. That would be politically incorrect. Can you spell "hypocrisy?" Here's something else to consider. "Damn" is not God's last name. If someone added "damn" to your name and called you "Johndamn", "Mikedamn", "Joedam", "Stevedamn", and so on, how would you feel? Now how do you think God would feel if you do the same to Him?

Does Spanking Really Harm Kids?

I’m sure you’ve heard this from “experts” who appear on TV. But is this really true? Let’s use some common sense. How many of you had been spanked as kids? Did you end up becoming a child abuser? How many of you had parents who were spanked? Did they end up becoming abusers? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you should spank your kids. I know people who can discipline their kids without resorting to this. But the point I want to make is that a child who is spanked does not automatically become dysfunctional and abusive. In fact, I’ve heard of kids who were not disciplined by their parents and the kids did end up becoming dysfunctional, even violent and abusive. So next time you hear someone say that spanking is bad, ask them if they or their parents were spanked, and ask them if they became violent as a result.
