But those words make sense in the context they are used, in most places curse words are used in the context of a simile or a metaphor, such as "this smells like s###" or "you're an a##".

So why don't politicians such as Ron Paul, Mitt Romney or Barrack Obama not swear during presidential speeches? Wouldn't that be okay within your frame of reference?

I would have no problem with that, but the vast majority of Earth's population would deem that unacceptable. So nobody would ever attempt it for fear of political consequences.

People all have their struggles. I know a Christian that struggles with swearing. I wouldn't say that just because someone cusses or swears it means they are not Christian. It is a struggle like any other. God will eventually get their attention on the matter.

I actually got into the habbit of saying a phrase that I didn't that actually was taking God's name in vain. Needless to say, as soon as I found out about I stopped saying the phrase.

People make mistakes and will accidently misuse God's name but God will most certainly forgive them if they ask Him to.
