This is something that I have been thinking about for a while now and I wanted to get other Christian's perspectives.
First off, I didn't use to use ANY offensive language at all. But now occasionally I'll say like the "H" word or "D" word (rhymes with ham) and lesser offensive words. I still do not and can not use really profane language (I'm sure you know what they are)...I personally don't think they need to be said, and feel that a lot of people in the world say it for emphasis, shock value or its just culturally acceptable. I think people can try to come up with other more intelligible words to use for emphasis if they need to, that's just my opinion.
I'm bringing this up because its something I've noticed that's becoming a norm amongst Christians and in the secular world, like i.e. the work place.
What are your views on this? Do you feel pressure to cuss at your workplace like everyone else? Do you feel pressure to cuss a little bit if other Christian's are? Is it ok, right, wrong to use the lesser offensive words?
Let me know your thoughts. Please lets have a civil discussion and no arguing. I really want to get you alls perspectives.
