The Jesus Filter

I made an interesting discovery today while posting comments at the Globe and Mail. The article discussed the upcoming documentary on the purported discovery of Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem.

The conversation was semi-moderated, meaning that an automatic filter is used to restrict postings. One of my posts was continually rejected, until another member of the conversation pointed out in a post that the filter would not allow any posts containing the word "Jesus". Once I replaced "Jesus' resurrection" with "the resurrection", my post was accepted.

Did the Globe and Mail hire the same censor as the airline industry?
