When a song has the GD word in it, how come God gets bleeped on the radio, but the D doesnt?

It's using the lord's name in vain according to religions.

Most lyrics aren't posted on the legit sites until after the CD is released. If they are posted, a lot of the times they are wrong. I used to work for a music store, and this was something that we would get asked all the time.

What's with the G_D stuff?? Are we so whipped by political correctness that we can't even say or spell "God" anymore??

I have never heard it, nor want to if it demeans my GOD.  People take things like this to heart, and when they are on drugs of any kind, everytihng seems "normal" or a "new state" and they think its "right" for them and then inflict it on the rest of the World.\n\nNo thank you... I will stick to the Word as it is written and be happy with that.\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

our local childrens station (pop/hiphop) doesn't make an audible bleep, just a silence when the dirty words come up. I don't think I have heard them edit the word 'gun' before. but, if it was edited, how would i know what word it was?

it's a memory trick. If the song is simple and has funny or stupid lyrics, it will get stuck in your head. Whether or not you like the song doesn't matter, really. And if it is a very dumb commercial, you will bring it up with your friends and family, about how dumb the ad was, and that's free marketing right there.

This may shock you, but what happens on a stage is entertainment, and is not real. The audience knows that they are being entertained and that the magic on stage is not real. \n\nThe Bible is prohibiting the kind of magic that people believed to be real, and that would take people away from Gd. You also have to remember that the magic the Bible speaks of, was to control the gods. If one said the right incantation, it forced the gods or the god to do the will of the person reciting the incantation. The Bible is all about our giving into the will of Gd, letting Gd command us, not us command Gd.

Same reason they start sentences with "Honestly" or "I swear to god".\n\nAnd it's not just Americans.\n\nBTW, did you know that when someone is being dishonest, they are more likely to invoke the name of god?

Isn't that a Helloween song? They were like Judas Preist if I am correct. That's the only reason I can see it being under music.

Does it? I never noticed that it had. Now rap.........that sucks. My point is that this is a free country and we have a right to our opinions. If you don't like what you are hearing feel free to change the station. I don't hesitate to.

Okay, there are really a lot of smarties out there. This isn't a 'Christian' site, but I knew what you meant. We are in the Religion section and you are asking a religious question, so why do these atheist morons have to get in and disrupt and adult conversation??? Psa 14:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Freedom of speech does not matter when your cursing and saying vulgor and offending music. I love rap and hip-hop music but alot of the words are inappropriate to play to radio in tv. Children are affected enough by tv and radio, imagine if they could hear everything they say in these songs. I have a child and I will whip his behind if he ever repeated those things!

ignorance.  \n\nTo take it a step further though, I know many people who say they dont take the Lords name in vain, but they say; gosh, golly, jeez and things like that- those are still variations of the Lords names because those words derived from the words God, and Jesus.  \n\nI wrote an article about this at my website.  Click a link below if you are interested in reading it.  \n\nThe general idea, is that we need not interject words at all that are unnecessary.  Why say anything that isnt to the point anyways?\n\nWhy do we even add the space in a sentance for cursing?  Instead of saying things like "Jeez, its hot!"  Couldnt we just say, "its hot?"

Dear Father Damian:\nGood question.  When it comes to the English language who knows.  It's such an amalgamation of rules anyway.  I suppose it was because to say that something was lov-ed sounded awful.\nAsk the English Gods why.  They spared us the extra syllable to save us time, I guess, and for that deserve our praise and reverance.  Although I doubt they'll answer you if you ask them.  Remaining silent is how they retain their mystery and power over you, the common man in the street.

i think greenday is explaining the prestaging of armageddon itself. And how changing a simple name, can convert a whole society.(christmas to holidays). It also explains how the UN is taking away all religions to replace it w/ there own to create a united culture. And the song states that if you dont like this, the government will drop a 2 thousand pound bomb on your a**.

Ive seen that happen with cd's which are badly scratched & also when the cd head is dirty in which case you need to clean it soon before it gets too damaged to clean.\n\nIf its data files like mp3's which are skipping, then I cant explain the skipping backwords & forwards other than the files are corrupted in which case it still makes no sense to me.
