M&S bans customers using the words 'Christ' and 'Jesus Christ' in messages when they are ordering flowers online - but jihad is okay
- Swear words and the term 'gay' also trigger the same warning
- Some terms including jihad, Buddha and Allah are accepted
- Supermarket made aware of problem but have not changed facility
The
words 'Christ' and 'Jesus Christ' have been placed on a list of banned
words by Marks & Spencer and cannot be used in gift messages.
Customers buying a bunch of flowers who try to add a free message containing them are prevented from completing their order.
An
on-screen notification, which pops up if any blocked words are entered,
reads: 'Sorry, there's something in your message we can't write.'

'Christ'
and 'Jesus Christ' join other banned words including 'f***' and 'gay' -
but some terms including jihad, Buddha and Allah are accepted.
'Terrorist' and 'd**k' can also be included in messages.
The
policy emerged earlier today after one customer was stopped from buying
a £35 bouquet for a funeral because she said in the gift message that
it was from a family in 'Christ Church Teddington'.
When Gerardine Stockford, 53, phoned customer services an employee told her that it must be a blocked word, according to The Sunday Times.
Lord Carey, a former Archbishop of Canterbury, was shocked.
He said: 'If Christ becomes an offensive word in a Christian land then all of us should be alarmed.'

Despite the supermarket giant being made aware of the issue yesterday, M&S has still not changed the facility

A
spokesman for Marks & Spencer said: 'An automatic phrase checker is
in place to prevent the use and misuse of certain words and it includes
hundreds of words of varying nature.
'The words Jesus and Christ are included to prevent their misuse.'

======================
Gobshite Lord Cary still thinks this is a "Christian land"..lol
You couldn't make it up, but he can... Marks and Spencer (the shop not the original market stall) was established with the £10,000 that Chaim Weizmann received from the British Parliament as a payment for his work on acetone production (essential as a catalyst for naval gun explosive) during WW1.
The British public has been bankrolling Zionism via M&S for almost 100 years.
INTERESTING.

Jesus ?
The man who asked people to kill and gouge out eyes
https://dindooohindoo.page.tl/Jesus-_-Directions-to-Kill-and-Gouge-Eyes.htm
"Bring my enemies here that did not wish me as king, and kill them in my presence"
(Gospel of Luke, 19:27,).
"But those, my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me"
(Luke 19:27).
The Wrath of Jesus
Mathew 21:44
And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Luke 12:51
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.…
Mathew 10:34
34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn ‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.…
Mathew 18:34-35
34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Jesus on Eyes Gouging
'Salvator Mundi' (Saviour of the World), Leonardo da Vinci, painting
In Matthew 5, He says: "You have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell"
