Oh, they curse plenty.
I live next to a Christian man, and everyday, he says "STFU" for at least once.
I feel really really really really bad for his kids...

Interesting observation. I cuss...I am human. I'm not perfect - Jesus was the only being walking this earth that was perfect. However, I will admit that I cringe when I hear someone use the GD words. I do have a difficult time hearing God's name taken in vain. I don't understand how Christians can do that without feeling bad. I get a guilty feeling when I do cuss. So...Christians cuss because they are of this earth and not perfect. That's my take.

Just like everyone else 'christians' are human. I personally am not one (christian..or sometimes human for that matter :-)), but cussing is more of a process to vent than it is a "breach" of some ancient moral imperatives. Bottom line, humans make mistakes and the the cussing is just words...no more. (just like me repeating 'the' before cussing, it was a mistake and a word...means nothing though) We have been programmed to believe these words/phrases are wrong, when they are just a couple of vowels and consonants put together to make a noise come out of your mouth, and 9 times out of 10 are better off ignored.

Everyone is an individual. Each Christian has to make decisions on how they act. Each has their own definition of Christian living.
Stereo typed beliefs, is not real. Just as athiests do not believe and approach every subject the same.
Why is that such a hard concept for the people on this site.
It could be such a great interaction if all the stereotyped stuff was dropped and we could get some meaningful ideas discussed.

This talk of "can't help it" makes no sense. When I was a Christian I didn't curse. I gave up the Christianity and along with it the restrictions on such inane behavior. While I don't think there is anything wrong with an occasional swear word used for humor or emphasis, in truth the biggest problem with cursing is its reflection of a poor imagination and vocabulary.

They aren't supposed to. Everyone is fallible but that is no excuse for them to indulge freely in sin. Still, I would rather be in a religion that sets high moral standards, and not be able to meet those standards perfectly, rather than being in a religion that sets the moral standards incredibly low and makes me out to be a divine upholder of the law. I know I am fallible, and I know I need an increase in righteousness, that it why I am a Christian: It is the only religion that really gives you incentive to cast off your wicked impulses.

God will save any one who sincerely asked and it takes time for people to change. Many new Christians mean well but do not yet act like Christan's should but if they have the Holy Spirit inside of them they will change in time. Of course it is a life long process.

Who do non-Christians think that as soon as we become Christians, we really "become" holier than thou? Many of us fight against that attitude. We're still people. We still mess up. We're not sinless little robots. We're as real as you. We just have a Savior, a hope of eternal life, and a relationship with our Creator.

No,they shouldn't cuss.

"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
