Is it a sin to give someone the bird?

[Dave Slayer]

Is it a sin to give someone the bird? In other words, should we stick up our middle finger at people when they tick us off?

 

[John]

What do you think.

What do you think.

I asked the question so your request will be denied.

 

[John]

Kind of rhetorical isn't it.

If you wouldn't say it with your lips, don't say it with your finger.

It's considered a very rude guesture, so I'd say it is a sin. It literally means 'up yours'. I think it's a sin to say that, so it would have to be a sin to make a sign that meant it.

If you wouldn't say it with your lips, don't say it with your finger.

Honestly Dave, these are exactly the kinds of questions we've talked about. When the answer is obvious from a Christian perspective, why bother to ask? :gah
