Cursing "I think
I'll believe in Gosh instead of God. If you don't believe in Gosh
too, you'll be darned to heck." - anonymous
This quote displays the similarities of colloquial language to that of
the original swearing it derived from.
"Golly jeeze"; both
"golly" and
"jeeze" derived from taking the Lords name in vain.
"Golly" from God and
"jeeze" from Jesus.
"Gee whiz"
derived from
"jeeze".
"Darn" from
"damn";
"darn it"
from
"damn it"; and
"heck" from
"hell".
"Fricken" has
become the substitute for
"f_ _ _". Why do I Underscore when I
just said it using
"fricken"?
I like to think I do not swear. When
I hammer my thumb I use,
"blast it", the same syllables as
"damn
it"… and more importantly the same attitude.
Shame on me. It does
show, however, I need to work on my anger.
We rationalize away many of our sins. We will not be able to explain them away when standing before God on judgment day. We will be judged by our faith backed by our deeds or misdeeds.
"Everyone else does it, so what’s the big deal?"
Where is the relationship with the Father of "everyone else"?
We are to be a peculiar people standing out, not conforming to
the sins of everyone else. We
are to be a witness of righteousness. - Roger W Hancock -----------------
