Cussing. I loved it... it was so... expressive. It took me years to stop and then I still thought in cuss words and sometimes when I am really angry I still do (think them).
I am quick to repent but that does not always make me feel better about it.
Smoking is a sin? J/K, it's the catholic background
Lol, I am resonating with this "Catholic background" that we all seem to have, at least here in the West. I won't rant on that too much more, except to say that there are other, creation-centered modes of believing that are mostly foreign to us. I note we are all, as a rule, hyper-sensitive to "sin," or death, but seem to be at a loss as to how to "branch, flower, seed," unlike some delightful Christians I have met, who incidentally don't seem to have any Godhead or tongues debates, even among their Bible worshippers.
I started wondering a few years ago just who decided that cussing was a sin. Clearly "cursing" is a biblical no no, but "cussing" and biblical cursing are not the same thing IMO.
Im not pronouncing a curse upon someone if I smash my finger with a hammer and let an expletive fly am I?
I wonder why some words are so evil supposedly. Why is it sin to call excrement "s#@t" instead of poop or ........? Why is the F word the mother of all bad words, when it is a legit word that had a true practial meaning centuries ago? It's all a great big ball of politically correct hoopla to me.
Now that doesn't mean I want my 5 year old popping off cuss words. I just tend to want to knwo the real "why" behind things, including this.

I've asked a few times for a list of all the words God has banned. Never got it.

Well here's how I think of it. We are setting an example for the rest of the world, cursing is by anyones standards a vulgar thing. It's about respect. Even when I was living in sin, I didn't feel right cursing around my mom, dad, elders, or people who I knew were in some kind of church. That's how I feel.
