    I just wantesd to hop in here and state that there are no bad words. Words have no inherent morality.

    And out of respect I will not type it out, but the F word is one of the most versatile in the language.

      I agree, and I personally swear all the time. But I grew up in a family and culture that believed swear words were morally wrong, and had to deconstruct that (among many other things) on my own, so when I see other people expressing beliefs that I used to believe, I like to try to engage with them :)

        Good on you! I wish I had the patience to engage evangelicals like that but I went no contact with most of my family because I just can’t.
