Where I come from, lots of people use the f word constantly -- as in every other sentence. They are not people I enjoy hanging out with, but they abound. An awful lot of literature uses swearing frequently too. The fact that the word is so versatile means it has little real meaning -- like "great", it's lost it's specific meaning. When somebody's pit bulls attacked my dog, all I could think of to do was scream "F-- you!" at him. It's the lowest I've ever sunk. How much more effective it would have been to yell "Control your dogs or I'll sue you for every cent you'll ever make!" Gotta be more inventive. Eshew vulgarity. |

I can't help but add: you may feel that God is not addressing our problems the way you'd like him to, but consider that humanity may just have some responsibility too.
People are responsible for 85% of the misery in the world, nature for the rest. God is not forcing us to indulge in murder, violence, war, greed etc. In fact Christians believe he intervened to point us to a more desirable course of action. End comment. And I said it all without swearing. |
