Some people treat Jesus as a prophet. I believe certain groups in Judaism treat him as such.

But, at the same time, do you hear anyone say "Moses damn it" or "Elijah damn it"...

theres seriously no reason at all to put slang into rational terms. It just simply does not make sense, think about it, why do we shout "oh son of a bitch!" or "oh poop" when we stub our toe? sons of bitches or poop has nothing to do with the pain in your foot... if we wanted to make sense we would say "oh damn the fact that i forgot to turn on the lights while walking around barefoot!"

slang- it is what it is... no use analyzing it to death.

So then why do you say swearwords?

Why not "oh sugar"?

For those of us that aren't fussed about taking God's name in vain, why use it? Why not say something else entirely? What makes it so special it has to be used instead of something more polite?

Actually, many people consider people that use swearwords to be somewhat illiterate or ignorant since they don't use other words to take their place.
It's twice as clear as heaven and twice as loud as reason.

and many people believe that if they drink cyanide koolaid they get to ride on the spaceship... but i STILL dont care.


and no im not going to change my vernacular because a few people find it offensive. Honestly, im sorry they feel that way... but if we just face it there are simply too many other things id like to be concerned about rather than if i use the word "damn" in the wrong tense.

on that note: damn damn damn.

Thats cool, cos I bet people who don't like swearing equally don't care to phone the police when you're getting beaten to death in the street.



Mmmmmmmmm, the door of uncaring swingeth both ways.
