        A good friend of mine is a Lutheran pastor. She explained that, contrary to what I was taught in Catholic school, “taking the Lord’s name in vain” doesn’t mean swearing or saying “god damn it.” It means to bring up god or religion for your personal benefit. And, you know, of course it does. It’s amazing how religious schooling gives people permission to twist language around like that.

      Would be awesome to have a t-shirt or bumper sticker with these 2 lines.

      1. Baal

      2. Yahweh
