Interesting. I swore a lot in high school but decided more dignified language was better as I read the Bible more.
I went to a football game yesterday and passed a mom on the phone walking with two kids around 5-8 and heard her use the D and F word, and was sad for those kids. I don’t think we need 5 year olds familiar with swear words.
I haven’t sworn in several years now, maybe 5, and since 2010 maybe less then 10 out loud swear words. My goal is for my kids to never hear me swear. I heard my dad do it a fair bit, my mom rarely.
Now, before I go getting attacked, I tolerate swear words both at work and with other random people, but the more someone swears, the less inclined I am to continue to hang out with them.
I like to hang out with people that are intentional and trying to become better, people with self control, and people that respect others, and good language ticks all boxes to me.
That said, i don’t mind biblical swears much (A, D, H word). I am a fan of Lyn, I’m a fan of Foss and he swears a lot.
But does it make me cringe? Yes. Sometimes I want to share something with my wife but won’t due to language.
Anyway, big fan Lyn, and at the same time a big fan of James chapter 3. Thoughts become words, words become actions. I found it much easier to not swear when I changed to music that doesn’t swear - that’s another reason I like Linkin Park, little to no swearing on albums but still hard rock.
To me it’s all about being fully intentional and in control of my speech in a way that respects other people at all times. Or, let the content of the speech offend (differing opinion), but not the delivery (crude words)
