Hahahahaha! Excellent double-sarcasm (and no, I'm not just being stupid. I'm also being sarcastic about being sarcastic about being sarcastic, and THAT's what's stupid.)

Just to be clear, the point I was trying to make that whether a particular word is offensive is highly subjective and the way that we should use our own language should not be dictated by a group or individual. That is undemocratic.

In this case, we can civilly agree to disagree, and this thread can go back to being welcoming/greeting.

I have tried and failed to educate you.

As have I to you. Good day, sir. *tips nonexistent caps and strides off into the sunset*

Sorry to revive your resolved topic, but I am curious. In what was does being Christian affect your tolerance towards swearwords?

Sarcasm is one of the tools that can be used instead of expletives—you just proved it! Thumbs up!

I find malicious sarcasm far more offensive than shit, cunt, fuck, bastard, or bitch.

We ain't supposed to swear...God says it's a no no somewhere, can't say I'm very good at following this point. =(

You're not allowed to swear by his name, of course, but that is the use of the word 'swear' as defined by 'making a promise'. Nothing to do with 'cussing'.

And don't even try to equate swearing to blasphemy, unless you acknowledge God as fifty different words for excretement.

Why in the shit would God care if I swore? If anyone swore? I mean, yeah, if Jesus was recorded as Partisan of the Pottymouth Patrol, it might be an issue for the big guy, but an omnipotent being could not honestly give half of a shit about us swearing. I don't see how people let ridiculous garbage thoughts that say otherwise cloud their judgement.

While I used to agree, I now think it's stupid to try to understand how an omnipotent being thinks.

True, but we can still question the people who claim to know what said omnipotent being is thinking.

They don't, who can, it's too paradoxical.

And I don't think that swearing is too big a deal but using God's name in vein is pretty bad I suppose, but then I'm not very good at not doing that either. God sake is about as bad as it gets though, I hate people who shout out Jesus Christ when they are angry because it just sounds bad to me. =(
