Gary,
Get over it. WE've asked you time and time again to stop quoting the bible.
Who really can define profanity? Some book written by a roman emperor? To
some, the biblical quotations are just as, if not more, profane as the usage
of the word "Fuck".
It's like saying "Ass." It's all in the context. Oh! Bash me on that, won't
you? For all you know I was talking about a DONKEY.
I find no offense in profanity, except for perhaps a four-letter word that
could represent the female sex organ (beginning with "C") ..but even then I
have to laugh at the dorks who use it. As per your bible quotation, I am
evil. Well! Someone give me a set of horns and a pointy tail and send me
southward- I'm going to hell!!!
See ya when I get there,
Ginger

When someone compares Scripture to something that is universally
acknowledged to be profane and states that they prefer the profanity, then
they have, in effect reversed the definitions for evil and good. He makes
the sacred profane.
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness
for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet
for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own
sight!
(Isaiah 5)
