Same goes for any of the words. We need a list of words that are punishable for in order for things to be fair, and having blocked words is the best way we have to do that. Common sense applies here. Every CM(and user for that matter) should know what is and isn't allowed. How do we know that if all the policy reads: "All bad language is unacceptable", with all the different moral people here, and the not moral ones? Both sides, They're "understanding" is going to be tweaked to a level. What is your concept of immorality? People who use words you don't like? Well, the Christians here will morals towards bad words, and I'm not saying non-Christians don't, but tend to not care towards bad words/words. If you look up the word moral, you'll know that it's human character, what is right, and isn't. So for us Christians, you'll have people who get in the Bible that it's wrong use some words. But for a non-Christian, they're only concept of morality is that of the culture. And as everyone knows, some cultures are different from others. So non-believers won't have and shouldn't have as highest morals as that of a believer, because a believer get's his/her's from the Bible, and the culture, though some have biblical principles, most are getting fewer and fewer.

So to answer your question, it's words that the Bible doesn't want us to like, and thus makes it words I don't like. And that should be every Christian's perspective.

But then again, I could say the same to you, and ask what your concept of immorality is, and whatever your answer, you can use that as a counter weight towards ours/mine, and make it seem so high a stranded, that it's laughable.

Also, I hope we don't go off-topic anymore then we have to, as I needed to say all that for the question, but that doesn't mean I want to start a debate. If you want to, you can message me. Well, if you use the Bible as a moral compass, you should be disgusted with the modern day world. Women in positions of power? Women talking in churches? Rape is illegal? Domestic violence is illegal? Violent public executions are illegal? What a terrible world. So BM, did you just realize that? You're right, it is terrible. Holy crap. HOLY CRAP. Are you okay? Or did you misread my message? You just told me that rape being illegal is terrible, that domestic violence being illegal is terrible, that women in positions of power is terrible. Oops, sorry misread you post. You're right about the first two, (to a degree) but in the Bible, it is clear that the people who committed those sins, (rape, unnecessary violence) God should His wrath towards, and judged them. And if you want to strike up a debate, then keep doing what you're doing. But really, if you want to, do it on me message wall. Not here. God himself has, on many occasions, ordered those who serve him to kill and pillage countless cities, commit borderline genocide, and rape. That's not the greatest moral compass. @TA: Like I said, I think you are thinking about the Rome's kidnaping and raping of the Sabine women.

As for the swears, one verse that mentions language is Colossians 3:8. Now I'm ignoring the "using God's name in vain" swears because God spoke clearly against them. But back on the topic of the verse, the question is who defines the filthiness of the words? If it's the person then it's all up to their opinion. If it's up to the culture, then it's all up to it's opinion. Is it one of those, "If it causes someone to stumble avoid doing it around that person" rules or "Whatever is right, pure, noble, think on these things."

Anyways, I guess I'll vote neutral to both since I haven't made a clear decesion about swears myself.
