Rik, you were notified as to why the warning was issued. If you want to talk about your behaviour in open thread that's your business. I on the other hand have no such intention. You either use this sanction as a learning experience and amend the behaviour that earned it, or carry on as you are and accept whatever consequences are deemed appropriate.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Because it's a part of the vernacular you grew up with, and still functions as an expletive within that cultural context? Language is about conveying a message to other people, which swearing at or to a particular deity does. It's not about expressing literal belief in every word you utter. Haven't you ever heard of figurative language?

Here we are with one more intellectual extravaganza show.
Sorry Esq. but to me life is all about learning and the rest has got very little value.
To engage in things that have no value often lead to downfall so cultural or not cultural make no difference.
There is an old saying that goes......YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
By the same token i would say.......YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK.
So if you think about something with no value you also are a person with no value.

The value the sentence has would be communicating a certain force of sentiment. That's literally been my point from the very beginning. Have you not been paying attention, or are you just being a derp again?

You don't get it do you?
Value doesn't only have a positive aspect.
Value within this physical-mental arena always come positive or negative like everything else within the physical arena.
Suppose a person is a clever thief while other thieves are not very clever.
This person has got a lot of value within his inner circle but this value is within the negative arena not within the positive one so coming back to our issue it is obvious that doing something that not only doesn't produce any positive value but produce negative value lead to downfall and that is precisely what i try to tell you from the very beginning.
Capish?

It is all very simple.
It all started when Oukoida next to his avatar write DIO CANE which as you know in english mean God dog.
I point out that it is absurd to swear to an entity which for an atheist does not exist.
Esq. come aboard and say that it is some sort of cultural expression to express our own feeling or something similar.
To him i reply that to engage in something that doesn't make any sense as it is an absurdity lead to our own downfall so cultural or not it is all bullshit behaviour.
It is more clear now?
