SICK MAN AT KEYBOARD (Should be NCR there) From: ]\\\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[ To: Date: Wed 16 May 2001 15:21:28 -0400 ================================================ Okay, I am NOT going to cover the "lost faith" thing for 2 reasons... 1, I never had the faith to begin with, and 2, we kinda ran the religion subject the past few weeks, and I promised that I would be out of it after that. But to cover the "sinful words". Most of today's swear words weren't around during the times of Christ... in fact, most believe that they did not start getting used until the turn of the 20th century. So it would have been rather difficult to cover that in the bible, since although it predicts a couple of things about our future (take Genesis for example), it doesn't really delve into slang 1900 years later. I imagine that they were not given the tag of "sinful" until sometime early-to-mid 20th century... most likely by the Church, or even by the Pope himself... who really knows. Perhaps they were dubbed sinful because most of the words are used in context that might be against the beliefs of the bible... such as in the form of an attack towards another person, or used in anger. It's probably one of those things that we'll never really know for sure... I guess a good example would be "if you don't want your children to be saying it, then it's wrong". ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ (who is currently trying to get over the 102° temperature he had all night, and is at the moment in a semi-catatonic delusional and halucinagenic... yay me) http://NightStorm.isyourgod.com/ NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com NightStorm_Draco@creedlist.com NightStorm@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
