What does the Bible say about f&s-words and other body function words? I thought it was just do not take The Lords name in vain.

No, there’s a whole lot more the Bible says about cursing. It’s a sin. Period.

Using vulgar language to describe bodily functions is not “cursing.” Cursing is wishing evil upon someone, especially wishing his soul to be eternally damned.

All of those S(omething)-words are simply vulgar, rude, or socially, inappropriate, and are no more sinful than any other instances of poor manners.

“No, there’s a whole lot more the Bible says about cursing. It’s a sin. Period.”

Cursing, in the Biblical sense, does not equate to “curse words” in the modern sense. Biblically, we’re talking real curses, such as “may your entrails be ridden with worms”, etc. Basically, wishing bad things upon others, not simple profanity.

Thanks for the link. I found it very helpful and instructive concerning a commandment we often overlook: Love others as you would love yourself. That's the short form but I think adequate for this discussion.

Defiling one’s self by the use of coarse and vulgar language shows a lack of capacity for self-respect, no less disrespect for those within earshot, and disrespect is not an expression of love. I plead guilty to being an offender and must watch myself very carefully to avoid behavior acquired by habit.

Growing up in an age when “shock comedy” became the norm did not help and I'm at the point in my life where I don't find it at all humorous, but offensive. I had to grow into that and away from popular culture that has degraded and debased our civilization. It barely even qualifies as “civil” any longer.

cursing is a sign of a weak mind, one that cannot more creatively of definitively express its thoughts. Basically, people who cuss are too stupid to know otherwise.
