Thomas Michael Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I like those fudge stripe cookies. (just testing to see if the philter still works) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I did mean mushy mud pie, not pope. Since the pope is a person, I figure it would of course be disrespectful to take his name in vain. But must we be respectful of mushy mud pie?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Notes: - I never take the Lord's name in Vain. - When I cuss, I try to use lesser forms, such as "freakin". - Main reason I cuss, is usually 90% of the time... out of fusteration/anger. It's how I vent without exploding or totally going pysco (by locking my emotions in). I may use it time to time, but I don't enjoy it. Btw, I don't really view the "d-a-m-n" word as a major cuss word. But that can be debated upon I suppose. Another note: The cuss word I use the most, is "beaver dam". Then there is also "freakin" (which is not a cuss word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 4 I asked Sr. Gertrude what that word meant and she slapped me and washed my mouth out and said it was like slapping the BVM in the face ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkan_hanil Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well, I think I've had my share of the "H" word and the "DMMT" word on here...-_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I don't think it's appropriate to refer to any private parts. I've seen this on a couple of threads and the posts in question refer to male parts. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the wholesome posting on this board.

hyperdulia again Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 i agree that there are many words that shouldn't be used on this board or in mixed company (and here i refer nnot so much to genders, but ages). i'm not talking about the permissability of swearing and using non-scientific terms for body parts on phatmass (dUSt gets to decide things like taht), i'm saying that as far as i know, and as best i can understand catholic teaching we get to cuss, drink, dance, and gamble. it is possible to be pure without being a puritan.

Katholikos Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 i still say catholics get to cuss and i haven't seennany evidence to the contrary. And I still say Catholics don't get to cuss. To use dirty words -- or to use substitutes for dirty words when it's really the dirty words that are meant -- is at least a venial sin, which should be confessed. In the Holy Name Society (remember it?) a commitment was made not to use any swear words at all. Jesus said "I tell you, on the day of judgement, men will utter account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" Mt 12:36-37 RSV. We should try to keep ourselves pure and undefiled -- and that includes speech. The thought of someone who utters the F word or the MF word, or any of their substitutes, approaching the Blessed Eucharist unrepentant and unshriven chills my bones and hurts my heart.

hyperdulia again Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'm sorry Likos, but I still don't get it. Words aren't dirty in and of themselves words are dirty because people decide they're less refined. examples both the "f" and "s" words were correct anglo-saxon terms for what they referred to---when the normans invaded england these terms were replaced by french/latin ones and the old word become a sign of a lack of breeding and refinement.

dUSt Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 From the Baltimore Catechism: 352. Q. What is forbidden by the Second Commandment? A. The Second Commandment forbids all false, rash, unjust, and unnecessary oaths, blasphemy, cursing, and profane words. "Rash" -- swearing a thing is true or false without knowing for certain whether it is or not. "Blasphemy" is not the same as cursing or taking God's name in vain. It is worse. It is to say or do something very disrespectful to God. To say that He is unjust, cruel or the like, is to blaspheme. We can blaspheme also by actions. To defy God by a sign or action, to dare Him to strike us dead, etc., would be blasphemy. We have a terrible example of blasphemy related in the life of Julian the Apostate. An apostate is one who renounces and gives up his religion, not one who merely neglects it. Julian was a Roman emperor and had been a Catholic, but apostatized. Then in his great hatred for Our Lord he wished to falsify His prophecies and prove them untrue. Our Lord had said that of the temple of Jerusalem there would not be left a stone upon a stone. To make this false Julian began to rebuild the temple. In making the preparation he cleared away the ruins of the old building, not leaving a single stone upon a stone, and thus was instrumental himself in verifying the words of Our Lord; for while the ruins remained there were stones upon stones. He wished to defy God, but when he began to build, fire came forth from the earth and drove back the workmen, and a strong wind scattered the materials. Afterwards Julian was wounded in battle, an arrow having pierced his breast. He drew it out, and throwing a handful of his blood toward heaven, said: "Thou hast conquered, 0 Galilean," meaning Our Lord. This was a horrible blasphemy--throwing his blood in defiance, and calling the Son of God a name which he thought would be insulting (see Fredet's Modern History, Life of Julian). Therefore we can blaspheme by actions or words, doing or saying things intended to insult Almighty God. "Profane words" -- that is, bad, but especially irreverent and irreligious words.

littleflower+JMJ Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 bad words are bad words. simple as that. God gave you a mouth to say clean stuff. and yes, every word has some history root meaning, but the fact is, its non-existent today compared to words and what they stand for today. its bad to say bad words. likos you are correct. i agree. if we want to come before God we need to show it in our actions and words that are spoken.
