Very much so. If you can't handle a bit of swearing you don't last long.
But then, most mechanics are pragmatic enough to realise that "fuck" and "cunt" and similar words are just that, words.

And the author said that orcs, and orc-minded people, do have a filthy way of speaking.
And I've noted that this forum does not have a language filter, to take it all out.
Now Tolkien was a devout Catholic and along with C.S. Lewis and a few other Christian professors, he would engage in a weekly debate with atheist professors.
I was wondering if Tolkien was talking about his atheist friends when he talked about orc-minded people.
Or maybe he was talking about the working class in England, which has lost its faith in God and no longer acts with even the modicum of decency in word or deed.
Or maybe he was referring to Catholic priests and their child-molesting ways.

I came here to see what atheists are up to, and so far I am the opposite of impressed.
I am pretty sure you would get much better treatment if you went to a Catholic forum and declared you were an atheist looking for answers.
However, carry on and do as you will. You are making it all the more easy for me to return to my Catholic faith, knowing it was the right way to go all along.
What the fuck are you still doing here then? Fuck off.

Actually, the only places where these are considered legitimate arguments is against retards like you who can't make a legitimate argument to save their asses.

Are you fucking nuts? Whatever made you think that we want the same status as a "religion"? Atheism is not the equal of any religions - it's just the rational option. And I don't give two shits about convincing anyone.

Wow, this boy wouldn't last a second in an inner city area of Scotland.
He would end up a whimpering mess if he can't even stand the swearing on a forum.
Get a grip, man.

I'm not looking for answers, so why would I go "looking" for them? Somethings we may never know, and you know what, I might muse about them in my spare time, but I'm totally cool with not knowing everything.
P.S. My Polish grandfather told me I was a blasphemer and hellbound after I received communion in his Catholic church-I was not a Catholic... I think if a grandfather would say that to a 12 year old, then a Catholic online forum may be similarly judgmental towards atheists...

Absolutely. It has been said that there's no such thing as bad language, only bad people; and they can be bad in any language.
Offensive language, now, that's another subject. Personally I find a hefty percentage of the judgemental vocalisations emanating from the relevant orifices of self-aggrandised moral guardians deeply offensive, but on such differences of opinion does the world turn.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
