Is Yahoo Answers blasphemous? Do you agree?

1. Altering the Word of God has to be blasphemous ("Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for a God"). The person who thinks blaspheming means "sacreligious" is missing the point.

2. It is not relevant what other Bibles say. The direct quote, and the way YA treated it, is what was asked about.

3. Since none of the answers dealt with the question as asked, I shall not be awarding Best Answer.

It isn't a word that is allowed here, and in the bible the word is Donkey

It is an Americanization for you to use that word, and I think most US preachers of all faiths will call it a Donkey

I disagree! Y!A is not of itself "blasphemous" but the users often are! This would probably be true of any public forum these days. I thought Yahoo did allow *** and "when the **** crows". (I am adding that sentence to see how it renders when I post. I am amazed at what renders when I select to read a question- it is different from the way it posts!)

The author of the gospel wrote it in Greek - and the Greek is

γάιδαρος. You can just as correctly translate that as "donkey". If you insist on using an out-dated translation with 16th century English vocabulary you must expect some words to have changed their meaning.

At least now it is possible for Peter to deny Jesus before the **** crows.

It's not blasphemous, no. It's just stupid. Everybody knows an *** is a donkey.

No, it's not. Check your dictionary.

adjective

sacrilegious against God or sacred things; profane.

Censoring a word isn't profane or sacrilegious. It is simply a measure of protection against uneducated users who feel the need to use profanity or scurrilous language as a weapon against others. Unfortunately, computer programs don't differentiate based on context. So blame the trolls, not YA.

I see you answered your own question British troll!!

You are a person with some mind problems.

Preventing words that silly people use as insults is the joy of censorship.

to the runners of yahoo that be a sexual innuendo or a sex related topic
