You first have to define what you mean by 'swearing'. When I was a child it was frowned on in some quarters even to say 'damn'. 'Bloody' was a little worse, and you never, ever used the word f***. Now nothing whatsoever is thought about the use of the first two words and the third is heard every day, everywhere. No, swearing is not a sin, how can use of language ever be thought to be that? Words are just in and out of fashion. The over use of swearing can show a lack of command of the language. It would be very uncool to say f*** to your 60 year old aunt, it might not matter amongst your peers.

Well I don't think it's either......it's not cool because some people swear alot to sound cool.....which isn't cool, it just makes them look like idiots. I also don't think it's a sin. It's a disrespectful way to talk but then again swearing has always been around and noting is going to change that but it isn't bad enought to be called a sin. This is what I think of swearing........it's ok as long as it's not directed to someone. Like when you hit your pinky toe in a chair..........you can swear then because it hurts!

Swearing can be cool if used properly, scientists at the California Institute for Colorful Metaphor find that profanity is 75% more effective if used correctly.

sin
language is a sign of intelligence. and swearing makes you sound ignorant. Plus it is a very hard habit to break.

they slip out every once in a while but definitely not "cool"
definitely sin if spoken in front of elders or others that should be respect.

It is just another word. You can take it to be offensive or not.
as far as a sin?............... the bible has nothing against cuss words that I know except for taking the lord's name in vain. sounds simple enough

Neither.
It just makes you sound less educated, and in some cases offensive. I myself do from time to time abreviate the cuss word...like wtf or *ss, but not because I think it's cool, and hopefully it's not offensive, mostly it's a bad habbit.

Neither. It just makes you sound as if you weren't burdened with an overabundance of education.
