This is the same question I asked in the thread on drama. As I see it, it does follow that we would have to trash all the books with X sinful content.

I wouldn't it fits the character just like if you watch an episode of The Sopranos there gonna talk like violent amoral hoodlums not cultured sophisticates So in concluosn no I wouldnt shout the t.v. off if God's name was blasphemed because a work of art reflects the world it is in and to deny or pretend like that doesnt exsist is like an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand and another good example of where blasphemy is used then condemned is in Kill Bill Vol 1 right after The Bride and the wedding praty are mowed down the son of the sherif takes Christ's name in vain and is then rebuked by his father  |
You have only two punctuation marks in that paragraph of no less than seven sentences. Don't do that to us, man!
Other than that minor issue, I'm glad someone finally disagreed with the status quo. Let the games begin!
