(Yes, this comment has religious commentary in it. But if you ever want Mish to stop complaining, you would be wise to keep this up.)

I don't support outright censorship on most levels, but I agree with most of what you're saying. I'm Christian too, and I support you every step of the way, brother.

The problem is, right now, the community as a whole is rather desensitized to right and wrong, or at least to a certain extent. A lot of what you find offensive is stuff that they discuss everywhere else in their lives. Their water cooler conversations are not the same as what you and I might have in our lives. Cutting back on the sexual comments about "passionately" kissing everyone and taking the Lord's name in vain(By the way, the original third commandment is actually to not CARRY the Lord's name in vain, but don't take it in vain either!)  might make chat "safe" for users like Wizemanll and Johnyjo, but it might actually hinder outreach to people whose only contact with the Gospel is us.

God does not call us to conform to the world, of course, and we need to be cautious in our thoughts and deeds. But Jesus spent his time not with the religious Pharisees, but with the Tax Collectors(People who betrayed their nations to help the Romans tax everyone), Prostitutes, and the needy(Being needy is NOT a sin of course.). Jesus did not come to save the righteous, but to save the people who were sinners with no hope.

And spreading the good news is our very purpose God has given us in life.
