I don’t think there are any other WC podcasts I have stopped listening to, but this one was too much. It’s my policy to stop watching/listening/reading when the language goes in the gutter. I didn’t appreciate the language in the first half of this one, but when the guest got so specific about his filthy language with his two-year-old in the car, I’d had enough and turned it off. I do not think such language honors God. Even if abbreviated or if using euphemisms.
When I was at Bible School in 1988-1989, one of my teachers told a story about a basketball outreach he was part of. When he would miss a shot, he would say “shoot.” One of the unbelievers would alway look at him quickly, in shock. He finally realized the guy thought he was saying a crude word and decided he should say that any more. Until then, I never even realized it was a euphemism for a crude word.
When I was 8, I decided not to use the euphemisms for swear words that the kids at school, and probably my cousins, were using. (Later that year, an older cousin commented on the fact that I didn’t use those words.). I carried that through til now. I refuse to degrade myself by using crude language, including substitute words that everyone knows stand in for other things. After that day in class at Bible School, I stopped saying “shoot,” since I then knew it was used as a euphemism. To me it was just a real word.
Listening to this discussion of Bible verses mixed with crude language and references was quite disorienting. I didn’t finish listening. 🙁
I see no edit option so here is a correction to my comment:
“He finally realized the guy thought he was saying a crude word and decided he SHOULDN’T say that any more. Until then, I never even realized it was a euphemism for a crude word.”
I know we don’t always get it right. Thanks for the feedback.
We are to resist the devil, for sure. The balance is that we don’t resort to fleshly means in doing so. I think we would be well served by learning to pray the imprecatory prayers in the Psalms and feel the same way about our fleshly accomplishments as Paul does in Philippians 3:8 (refuse/dung=skubalon).
