Curse words

Hey, jus’ because I’m a Christian does not mean I don’t understand everyday problems. It doesn’t mean I don’t know what ordinary teens go through in their lives. I am a teen as of this moment and I struggle hard not to fall into temptation, as I seem continually to do. This blog I write in is for my continual improvement in my relationship with God. Now, I don’t want to run full steam ahead with “Godly attributes” ‘cause I don’t want people running away on me. First let me see if I can understand you’re situation (if you have one). So first you want to say, what’s wrong with swear words right? Well, let’s cover this fast. First, we, as human, weak, sinful beings, we have no authority to send someone to Damnation, or to Hell. So it’s really absolutely pointless when we say things like that. Then there is taking God’s name in vain, that’s an easy one. Bullshit is just plain crude humor, not polite in many cases, so I wouldn’t recommend it. In general of all swear words, Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 1 Peter 3:10 says, “For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” So that area is clear. But I understand a need to express ones self. Saying inappropriate speech will make people listen to you more. Hey, that’s a case. Barbarians honored those who died first in battle. Ok so maybe a little different but you get my point. This is, using such words may get you respect or attention that you want. Hey, I’m with you in saying that using the words will get you attention. That’s obvious, though you may get into trouble with elder authorities. But is that attention the kind of attention that you want? It could be, so this lessen will be completely worthless to you. However, if you want attention, but would like to do it in a clean wholesome way, I would suggest that you open a thesaurus. Find one at your local library or something. But anyway, what I’m getting at sis that you will be respected and looked upon as a better, intelligent, cool person in general if you can express your opinions in such a way that you do not use swear words. That is the cold hard truth, that using swear words is not the greatest way to go for attention. Now, the way I speak of is slightly harder, but trust me, it works best in the long run. You will be respected by better people, ones that will help you in your life better then anyone else. Whether you’re applying for a job or gaining a friend, better language is simply better. now I don’t think that crazy nice talk is going to get you anywhere either. Instead of saying, yo whats up dog, I got some da*n sweet deals on some fr***en Bluetooth merchandise, you gotta come check it, you could say hello, how are you trusted comrade? I got a really good deal on some of the Bluetooth products, it would be entertaining for you to come over to my house and play around with it. No, no, no, that’s just lame and stupid. Try something in between. Hey, how’s it going? I got a cool deal on some Bluetooth stuff; you should come check it out. Is that too much to ask? Maybe start building up your vocabulary so when you see something really cool, you don’t have to yell out some curse word, but something that’s moderate and appropriate. Awesome, overwhelming, interesting, appealing, there not crazy far-out words. Just try it, see what happens. (Although it might not help if you hanging out with the wrong company in the first place, but that’s your call).
