I'm sorry.  You posted your message on "ubuntu-users" not
"ubuntu-yap-about-religion-no-matter-who-cares-or-not".  You may wish to
try reading the part that says "Ubuntu user technical support, not for
general discussions" when posting to "ubuntu-users" in the future.

One man's religion is another man's belly laugh.  Profaning the name of
a fictitious being has zero impact on my conscience.  I don't mind
people profaning Christ any more than I mind them profaning Legolas.

Quite possibly because most people who communicate predominantly in
English aren't brought up surrounded by pointless Buddhist crap?
Instead they're surrounded by pointless Christian crap?

So it would not be wicked, in your worldview, to say "Oh Buddha" for
profanity?  Typical.

No risk of that here, trust me.  Polluting technical mailing lists with
fairy stories is not a way to garner thanks.  It's a way to garner
derision and entry into multiple killfiles.

And rational thought bless you in return.

I know which of the two has made more of a positive impact in my
life....
