There's no saying God thinks something unless it lines up with the Bible. It doesn't have to be explicitly stated, but saying God thinks something ridiculous about forum election candidates is blasphemy...
What is blasphemy to you? Just carelessly throwing around God's name as a swear word? Just carelessly throwing around God's name full stop? I would say the latter, and your previous comment would qualify.
You said (yes, I know you were joking, but you still said it) that God is unhappy with EK and Kairi or something. That's (jokingly) putting words in His mouth. NO ONE CARES IF IT'S A JOKE. People can still blaspheme with jokes.
Also, I wasn't aware there's a specific use for each smiley. I guess we need a guide for that.
I was just indicating that I didn't agree.
I'm sorry, but if "God is unhappy with EKairi!" is respectful, then I have no idea what respect means anymore.
You said that the only reason I would think that I am blaspheming God is because I'm an EKairi supporter.
You're basically accusing me of sin because I voted for EKairi. Even if that were true, that has nothing to do with the current discussion. Let's just discuss if it was blasphemy or not.

Well, blasphemy on a Christian message board is kinda worse in my opinion than blasphemy on a non-Christian forum since the Christians should know better...
I doubt I can do much else that will persuade anyone of anything, and I bet Catspaw is planning to barge in here and end all our fun, so let me say this. AE, you have made jokes like this in the past, and you apologised, and I wouldn't hold it against you. But... you did it again. And you apologised again, saying "well, it's just a joke, but I apologise." Then... you do it again. Now you've just ignored the apologising part, since it apparently didn't matter to you before, and just say "You're reading it too seriously." If you apologise for something, make it sincere. Then prove it's sincere by not doing it again. If you don't think this is blasphemy, then don't apologise. Just pray about it and study blasphemy and decide what you wish, but don't make apologies for something that you're just going to do again.
EDIT: This was posted before I opened the PM. The discussion here is probably finished. Go back to rejoicing/crying over the results of the election.
