Answer 2

Swearing an oath and using profanity are two entirely different things. The Matthew quote has nothing to do with using profanity.

I used to be extremely strict about not using profanity, but I curse a lot more than I used to, especially when driving or when tired.

As for swearing an oath--I believe very strongly that one should not promise what one cannot deliver and always make every effort to keep a promise. It is immoral to swear falsely under oath.

People who have a history of throwing around yes's and no's often have to increase the intensity of their yes or no by swearing, because the other person wants them to. Me, I don't use curse words. But I do swear on something every now and again.
