Goddamn is OKAY
Officially, at least. They could have, in an abundance of caution, bleeped the *God* the same f[bleep) way they bleep the f word so that you know what was said but your ears are protected from bleeding when you hear the Lord's name -- well, actually not his NAME, just his description -- taken in vain, and not during the sermon of a designated insane TV preacher.
However, what they censored was the whole sentence, which had to do with war. Don't give me the crap that they had to take out the whole sentence. It was on a delay. The engineer keeps his finger on a button. He hears an objectionable word, he goes back five seconds or so and presses a button that put the bleep there. By the time it gets to you, it's bleeped. They've been doing that for 60 years or so. They cut out the reference to war.
