I know, I know, I may be treading on sacred ground here, but let's just look at the facts. I'm not going to use REAL cuss words here, as that would be inappropriate you sorry mother, but you all know what they are. I'm bringing this up because I don't believe cussing is the same as swearing. Cussing is just ding dang bad language. In Exodus when God gave Moses the 10 commandments, God said,"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." In other translations God says 'you shall not take the Lord's name in vain.' To me, that's swearing. So what is God's name? Lord. The Lord. Jehovah. Jesus Christ, God. Savior. Prince of Peace. Lord of Lords. Yahweh. That Big Referee in the Sky. Yashewah. Buddy. Pal. Father. Or is it just Jesus and God that are outlawed? Say you don't swear - but you cuss all the time, which by my defination means you use bad language but you're not swearing. Can you use bad language and still be a Christian? Have you ever used bad language? (if you answered no, then go ahead and close the page now; it's been nice talking with you). When I was growing up I couldn't say darn. It was too close to damn, and that was a 'swear word'. Well damn isn't a swear word, it's just damn bad language. Now, I'm not proposing that we all go ahead and use all those bad words (and you know what they are). I just want to make sure that we don't equate bad, stupid language with using the Lord's name in vain. That's all. So here for your reading pleasure are some Christian cuss words or words that Christians can probably use without fear of getting zapped (by God, anyway). Dang, Ding Dang It, Shoot, Dog Gone It, Rats, Gee Willikers, Gosh, Golly, Jumpin' Jehosafat, Darn It, Darn, Blast It, Blasted, Holy Cow, Doo Doo, Dumb, Nuts, Dumb Nuts, Son of a gun, Roasted Toad, Shucks, Heck, Fiddlesticks, Holy Cow, and Gee Whiz.
