Not really. I think spirtually it's rather like lusting for another man's wife without physically having sexual intercourse with her.

But most of us do it.
Would u consider saying Holy crap a sin? and would u think this is a sin replacing cuss words?

Neither one is sin, but neither one is something a Christian should be doing.

They are supposed to put off the Old Man.

Gal. 5:24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1 Pet. 1:15
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Jas. 3:10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Even so.

2 Pet. 2:7
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

Just remember, you are a Child of God, you are His representative hear on earth, your walk is an example to others, you will be judged by your actions, you must understand, your walk can influence to others, one way or the other.

Very simply.
If your child of 12 was overheard cussing or substituting, how would you feel?

Mat. 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Jas 3:1-12
1) My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3) Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4) Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6) And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7) For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

The tongue is a battleground every Believer will have, you may never tame it completely, but by substituting you are not overcoming, you are giving it place to retain it's strength.

The walk of a Christian is not an easy walk.

Mat. 16:25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

1 Th. 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil. :oldthumbsup:
