I agree with Pol and Colin (I think I can't tell what he's saying really) thatit is of no matter and that they didn't fully understand language and that yes the prophets cursed more than Eminem...thank you for my new signature
There is a trove of scientific archeological evidence that strongly points to an old earth. There are also even stronger anthropological evidences that point to an earth ~8000 years old (such as tracing genomes and language patterns). These sets of evidences are seemingly irreconcilable with the Genesis account of creation. How can the earth be millions of years old, but humanity be thousands of years old if it came to be six days after the creation of the earth?The answer is that time is not a constant, and that the universe is expanding. If I were to send a radio signal from the centre of the universe at creation, and then send a second one a second later, they would reach a given point on the outer expansion far more than a second apart. Therefore, a logical explaination that allows for both a literal interpretation of Genesis and acceptance of scientific discoveries is that the days in at least some of the creation account are measured from that central point. There, only days would have passed. Elsewhere in the universe, time does not follow the same path. It is faster, because the universe is expanding.

"I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a $h1t. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said $h1t than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night."
WWJD. He wouldn't offend anyone.
I think that it's more important for a Christian, or for anyone, to have a positive attitude. If one has a positive attitude and uses swear words on occasion, I can't see anything that would hinder one from eudaimonia.

So you're calling Mike "the Mouth" Matteso a Christian because he thinks positive and can speak however he wants?
It's not really a polite thing to do and it offends people. WWJD. He wouldn't offend anyone.

I'm using the terms in the sense that if someone were to say, have their foot ran over by a car accidently and they were to let a (instert curse here) slip out, I see that as alright.

Cussing is a matter of conditioning. If my foot got run over by a car, I would say "Ouch." I may slip and say "I'm gonna sue you for every penny you're worth," but I would never cuss. Now, realize that I say this after years of practice. I used to cuss horribly. But, I chose to leave that behind and I have not cussed now in over 15 years. However, my unsaved brother likes to pop in his wedding video when I visit, because he has a permanent record of me drunk and cussing like an idiot. I wasn't saved at the time, but my brother still uses it against me whenever I try to witness. The first time he showed me the video after I was saved was enough incentive for me to say "Never again."
Also keep in mind the age difference between myself and you, of course our views are going to be different. You grew up in a different time where cursing was not as heavily focused in society and was viewed differently. Now-a-days, every PG-13 movie curses quite a bit to make those who watch it wonder what they were thinking when they didn't make it R.

your standard should be what Scripture says is acceptable.
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity herDeuteronomy 25:11-12.
