No , that is leading straight towards something else: hypocracy.
I think this is a good line of considering the subject:
(from the article)
"I would be much quicker to jump on my kid for saying an unkind thing," says Pekkanen, "even if he used perfect language to do so."
Though in spite of Socrates's wonderful pricinciple never to do harm to anyone knowingly, there are limits to our knowledge of what may be harmfull to someone else.
As we can't look into the souls of our fellow mankind.

Faldage:Quote:Technically, God isn't his name any more than human is mine. His name is יהוה and that isn't even his name, that's just the consonants in his name.
Agree with that.Though I see no point in using any of someone elses God/Gods idly.
