A Vicar has told parishoners to swear more because he believes it to be how Jesus would have spoken.
Reverend Michael Land said that Christians need to adopt swearing in every day language because Jesus would have most likely used such language himself given his poor background.
Reverend Michael Land, 67, said Christians needed to adopt swearing in their everyday language because it is how Jesus would have spoken.

I can imagine how his sermon sounds... "Bless you, my beep children. Today I want to tell you more about Jesus beep Christ, you know who I am talking about, don't you, beep? I know that many of you think this Jewish beep beep to be a son of beep God and that beep Virgin Mary, and you are beep right on this one, but think, what sort of a beep son he was?...etc" Can anyone picture this? Seems silly to me.

I agree fully! Kids these days are brought up with bad parenting and bad morals. I guess it says a lot more about how your neighbors behave themselves. I am glad you are still bringing up your kids the right way! I think each of us will use the odd swear word or ..two LOL... but I cannot stand to listen to small children use it...

This 'man of God' believes Christ would behave as a human? LMBO He is a PROPHET of God, not a human being! Churches...*rolling eyes* Our Saviour certainly didn't act like the common man because He wasn't one.Yes He may have been poor.However, we know little of the youth of Jesus and there is some thought perhasp that Jesus spent time with the Essenes.He may have had some sort of education, since St.Joseph was a carpenter and Jesus would have had to know math and a few other things if He helped St.Joseph out with his work to any extant.After St.Joseph died, Jesus may have even done some work on...

Okay, why the hell not?

Okay, why the hell not? It's rather interesting to look at the fact that swearing, when hurt or frustrated, is actually good for your health. Why would God create such an effect? Making something he supposedly doesn't want you to do actually lower your blood pressure? I think that these rules against swearing are just arbitrary control methods that persist from an ancient and more vestigially controlling past. There's nothing REALLY wrong with swearing. They are arbitrary sounds. That said, it's much smarter to use real words than these expletives, and also displays your intellect better. I'm ... [More]
