He showed me through his words the type of person I now know him to be. Not something that would make me angry. It's more of an indication of the person delivering the message than the person it's directed towards in my opinion.

If he wants to be irate with me, getting angry and calling him names doesn't put me in any better light with anyone. If it does I don't need to associate with those folks.

Everyone seems to have their opinion on the moral impact of using these words but is it a sin in your Religion? I am not a big fan of Religion but some people seem to fight back with the Religious belief that you are committing a sin if you offend them with curse words. Who decides what is a sin and what is just improper?

That depends on the "religion". In the Christian faith a sin is the transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God.

There is also imputed sin which wouldn't apply to your question I don't think.

A third type of sin is personal sin, that which is committed every day by every human being. Thoughts and actions which separate you from God by not living what is defined as a God pleasing life. It cant be avoided by the way.

So your religion doesn't look at "Motherfucker" as a sin? I would bet anything, there is not one reference to the word "Motherfucker" in any bible, so how can some people think of it as a sin.

I don't believe in God, so I don't suppose the question is applicable to me.

I would not rely on "religion" as a barometer.

I grew up in a German Lutheran congregation where the men of the church would buy a pony keg of beer when we were on a major project like painting the church or the parsonage. I then went to college in a town in which-- OPENLY-- drinking was considered about the same as molesting children. Yet - the rate of DUI in that area was the same as it was in sinful ol' Ohio.

Technicalities aside, most people find f-bombs and their derivatives to be offensive, so I try very hard to avoid using them around people whom I don't know to find it OK. I don't have anything to prove by using it.

I answered that in my first post. It does. It's not a action of purity or moving towards a more God pleasing person...one who acts and is motivated by those things that worship and praise that which has given life.

The answer is because it's not the specific action that has to be referenced but rather that countless examples that are provided to motivate one to act in a way that's God pleasing. You see, if you truly believe that life was provided to you by this God and that he has protected you from your mistakes you want to speak and act in a way that's honoring that gift of life and protection. You can't do it all the time because you are imperfect. The origin and use of your term "mofo" isn't exactly a flattering praise of the gift provided to you. It separates you from God by it's nature of not being one that honors Him. That's a sinful action...and difficult to avoid.

You speak of the gift provided to me, what exactly is the gift?

Life.

Free will.

Protection from sin.

...of course you would have to believe that. Then again you were asking what it was that others believed as opposed to yourself.

I hope you don't think I am trying to argue with you on this one, as I am being civil but I have a hard time figuring out what makes some people buy in to a lot of these beliefs.


Life, Sure you could consider it a gift but how about the people who are born in to this life with major disabilities and problems that suffer for years or pass on shortly after entering this world.

Free will, seems to be limited by the consequences of your actions and the government.

Protection from sin, not sure how we are protected, when there are people who commit sins against others everyday.

Wouldn't have been offended in the least. Would've taken it as a compliment, given the context.

I would contend that anyone who believes in an objective morality would also adopt the notion that people ought to act in line with that morality. That would include non-theists who believe in objective morality (and there are certainly some).

The contention is what that morality is. It's more of a "this-is-good-and-this-is-not-good" worldview. Theoretically, it could stand in a vacuum as just belief without action.

let me rephrase...

LOL religion is a crock of shit. Everything about religion is a crock of shit.

If a co worker called you a stupid motherfucker in front of your female friend because you dropped something and he wasnt being cute he was trying to show you up ....what then
"Yeah I know man. My dumb ass can't do anything right." - Something like that is the proper response. Even if there wasn't a girl around. Very few situations are worth getting bothered by.
