If you tried to cope with everyone's varying view of blasphemy on a public forum, there isn't much you could say.

Also, you can only really take a gods name in vain if you happen to believe in that god, otherwise it is merely a culturally acquired exclamation. If I say "By Zeus, that bathwater is hot.", I am not being blasphemous unless I believe that Zeus exists.

It's not about blasphemy. It's about referring to the source of the universe (belief respective) over a popup, just a bit daft is all, mate.

"It's not about blasphemy."

"Try not to use God in vain when you're on a public forum."

I seem to remember there is something in one of those books about bearing false witness.

Ahahaha. That's all I have to say, because your point is so pedantic and wrong, that your aspergers might have infected your whole frontal cortex.
