That is off limits.

I knew a good Catholic girl once. Never said “God damn” or tolerated anyone who said it. But the f-word? The s-word? Even worse and more raunchy words?
Those were OK fine. She said ‘em all the time. Just not “God damn”.
I never understood that.
The latter is blasphemous; the former ones are not.
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.
Pope Benedict said that the greatest problem today is RELATIVE MORALTIY.
The true test of whether conversation is decent or not is to think of saying the words in front of a priest or a respected family member.
If this "good Catholic" girl would say those words in front of said priest then a few things have happened:
1. she acquired NO CLASS in her up-bring;
2. she just doesn't care whom she offends;
3. she LIKES saying those words for some odd reason.
Said Catholic girl wasn't so "good" to my way of thinking.
MAYBE she's just an idiot. Is that possible?
The Third Commandment: Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Ten Commandments. "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."
I'll fully admit that I have a bad mouth at times. There are two terms I don't use. God's last name isn't damn, and I don't use the female "c" word.
Well, there is a difference between profanity and taking the Lord’s name in vain. The former is in bad taste and is ill-mannered, but is not necessarily sinful. The latter is sinful. Period.
There is actually a difference between vulgar words and profane ones, though we commonly (and incorrectly) lump them together as "obscenities" or "profanities". Technically, only the sacrilegious words are profane, other "impolite" words are vulgar, and those that are overly-explicit would be obscene.
