*** Well, there's a Biblical figure called the Whore of Babylon... So if that word's in the Book of Revelation, it's okay on the radio? Maybe?

** In addition to most of the above, also consider the fact that the song (and music video) is about and set during a ''wedding''. It may be because some consider it blasphemous to say God's name in a church.

**** It does make sense to those christians who consider saying God damn to be taking the lord's name in vain, which I don't think it is. I am not one of those people.

*** They probably see it as a compromise - allowing the less offensive swear to be heard. This doesn't stop if from being stupid but it could explain their thinking.

**** Which really doesn't make any sense, if you think about it. Damn means, technically speaking, "Send it to hell for all eternity." Obviously, God is the one who would do that. If anything, using damn instead of goddamn is offensive, because it's implying that someone else has the power to damn things.
