PC vs. Profanity

Kobe Bryant was recently fined $100,000 for calling a referee a gay racial slur that begins with the letter f (rhymes with maggot). I have no problem with this as I think there is no place in our society for any kind of racial slurs. However it seems strange to me that our society is quickly accepting profanity in everyday conversation and on every media outlet. Such as Vice President Biden whispering the F word to President Obama while signing the Affordable Care Act, well within earshot of the cameras.It is also being heard more frequently on TV. As a Christian I find the use of God's name in vain very offensive. Yet I cannot imagine anyone being fined for doing so, not to mention it is one of the Ten Commandments. "Exodus 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." ESV. What kind of society would fine someone for a gay slur but, not for using The Lord's name who blessed this country so and has allowed us to prosper like no other before it ? One who is like the one described in Isaiah 5:20 " Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!".ESV. We have gotten so far from our Lord and His Word we don't even realize how far from Him we are or don't care! My Fellow Christians join with me and let us pray for repentance and reawakening in our country. May God send men like George Whitefield to preach repentance in our nation. God is our only hope! He is all we ever need if we will just turn to Him in repentance.
