Cursing (swear words)

[Simmer Jr]

To the many Minds,

I have pondered for quite some time now on what a "Curse Word" truly is and the effects it has on society, family, or even the individual.

I pondered on where it derives from.

I pondered on what it is "scientifically" so to speak. (ex. a WORD is: a sound or combination of sounds forming a meaningful element of speach. So if a word does this to speach what effect does a "curse word" have)

I pondered on what it is spiritually.

and last... I pondered on why it is wrong, or the effect it has to our world being that it is a sin.

After much pondering I can say that I have formed a somewhat tangable opinion on the whole matter.

This whole thing may seem silly, but I needed to understand its nature and harm in order to successfully rid it from my life.

Anyhow I wanted to hear others thoughts on the matter, or challenge others to consider this if they so desired. :D :D

Thanks God Bless

P.S.- I must note that I should of (by fatih) gave up cursing the minute I knew it was wrong. This would have been true obedience. We should listen to God even if we dont understand why. So dont take my example on how I approached this particular sin. Forgive me, for its just the way things happened.

Perhaps this may sound simplistic, but I ask myself if I would use a particular word if Christ were present, which for me he always is. But beyond that, profanity or obscenity simply reveal the limited vocabulary and/or intelligence of the user. Surely there are more effective ways to make our opinions known.
