Is that the discussion though? I don't think the OP said anything about theists thinking certain words are offensive while atheists think certain different words are offensive, and why there is a supposed difference in the words each groups finds offensive. Looks like he was just talking about people ("mostly religious") being offended by "dirty words:"

Drich's point was to show that "religious people" aren't the only ones who are offended by dirty words.
       If it's a religious affiliation or a individuals interpretation of words being offensive, it should not make a difference of the words he or uses. Offense words that are used to excises a point or used to in slanderer can be acceptable depending on the persons culture. If you look at this list of words "Nigger, cunt, wetback, tarbaby, kike, jap, rag-head, or porch monkey." All these words are used to slanderer another. "Fuck, *Bitch*, shit, ass-hole, shit-head, fuck off", with exception of "Bitch", these words are also offense. Do we have a right to take these words and their meanings away from the culture or sub-cultures who use these words on a frequent basis? I don't believe we should. We have no right to stop people from using these words if they chose to, as long they understand the meaning of the words. If a white teenager is using the word "Nigger" or "Nigga" cause he or she likes Rap music, does that make that person a racist automatically? Or if he or she uses a swear word in the proper context;Ex: Tim who is 16. is standing in a line at his schools cafeteria. He see's a female student being very indecisive about what she wants to order and is making the line grow longer.

        Would it be rude for Tim to blurt out "For fuck-sake's, would you please order something and move along?" She does not know what kind of day Tim was having, maybe his girlfriend or boyfriend just broke up with him, or he got a bad grade on a test that he studied for, or he's just really hungry.
