Someone
once defended the use of the f-word to me, claiming it was just a word of
anger. Top reasons why Christians should not use the f-word.
- It took Christians centuries to get sex off the public streets of
Rome into the privacy of the bedroom where it belongs.
- Likewise, it took Christians centuries to endow sex with meaning
beyond mere procreation—to elevate the idea of sex beyond the animalistic
notion conveyed in the f-word. Thus, sex is something holy and to be honored
even reverenced.
- The f-word is a crass and profane word that offends the holiness
of the gift of sex.
- Use of the f-word conveys much about a person who uses it. Not
only is the user profane, but inarticulate, and conveys to the world that the
user has a limited vocabulary.
- Perhaps the harshest use of the f-word is when it is flung at a
person in anger. In such usage, it is an execrative metaphor for the act of
rape—the ungodly perversion of the gift of sex. It is a curse formula that
conveys a wish that the hated person would experience the utter contempt and
horror associated rape. It conveys more than just, “I hate you and want nothing
to do with you;” the expression is a maledictive curse, something akin to, “By
the power of Isis [or whatever your DEMON is], may my enemy experience the
utter helplessness, pain, violation, and horror of violent bodily penetration
forever and ever.”
