To avoid writing any name of G-d casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.

The commandment not to erase or deface the name of G-d comes from Deut. 12:3. In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our G-d. From this, we inferred that the commandment not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface the name of G-d.

But feel free to write out anything you want.

Fine I will thank you. I am a Gentile. But i know exactly what I am talking about. There is more to not taking the Lord's name in vain then simply profaning it. its deeper than that. You cant call yourself the Lords and then do something contrary to that standard. if you do you are taking the Lords name in Vain. Its fairly simple.

Mustafa - you REALLY need to learn how to quote in replies. Your replies are so mixed up and sloppy they are too difficult to read.

You are losing your (weak) points in a mix of bold, italic, and other text.

Sorry to stress your ability to discern but glad you are enjoying the messages.

Silverwolf, why are you picking up old threads?

How about a little backing up of what you're talking about? Seperate out your version of 'facts' from opinion. Back up your points and lable your opinion.

Yes a bit, it's disjointed and there are usually reasons the threads died out. Feel free to start a new one, if none of the active ones follow what you wish to discuss.

You are free also to state your opinion, which is different from facts. Back up the latter.

Actually I agree with you on this point of freedom from religious dogmas.

The imposing of one's religious beliefs on the laws of a free country is an anathema to the liberty for all. Many fear that if they shirk their biblical injunctions that they will lose their own salvation.

FEAR is the operative word, as long as no one is being harmed by the personal liberties of others, there is no valid reason to prevent gays from living their lifestyles or from a woman deciding to abort her forming fetus as human life is yet to enter the cellular formation and no harm is done. Any guilt for one's acts are between them and their own conscious and Creator.

It is obvious that you consider yourself an atheist from your quotation but that is your right as you see it and no one should force their belief systems on you.

currently a woman has the "right" to abort her and the fathers fetus AFTER cellular formation has begun.
