A few weeks ago, I attended a bible study on "reverence" of God, His name and His Word. Without going into detail (it was a 5 hour study across 5 weeks), the opening of the study shocked me: Essentially, we are insensitive to the words spoken by others. As a Christian, up until that Bible study, If someone threw out any curse, even the obvious blaspheme, I didn't really sweat it. I was very complacent about what I let myself hear. That isn’t to say I’m going around telling everyone to stop cursing around me, but I take more notice of what is said, and I also take notice of the language used in the programs I watch. And like Kimberly, I stopped watching the shows that are just verbally abusive. But it seems it takes some of us a jarring or revealing experience(for Kimberly, the shows she speaks of above, for me, a bible study) to really take notice.
Here’s an interesting question: What about shows that use “fake” or made up curse. For example the new Battlestar Galatica use the word “frak” in place of curses…should I allow my future sons and daughters to watch episodes of the show? It’s obvious to me and others what the word replaces. Likewise what about words like “dang” and “crap”? what is acceptable and what isn’t? When is it acceptable? (ironically that last question is probably what got us to the point of hearing the “b” word 5 times in an hour).
