If those are what you think passes for addressing the topic then maybe you should go back to smoking the poles of Canadian truck drivers in Calgary weight stations.

That's it, Neo. That's how you demonstrate that xtian lurve to the heathen. Teach by example. They're sure to listen to you like that.

Calling people "jerkoffs", "asswipes", and "retards" or using prepackaged hand-job emojis is not the least bit creative. I'm merely showing how it can be done with more panache.

I'm sure Jesus is proud.
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.'

That kind of cliche retort is pretty lame. Besides, the bible does not explicitly condemn profanity. Not that it is encouraged. But in this venue, I actually do think Jesus would approve its use for emphasis in making a point.

Has anyone ever told you that your other cheek is very similar to your first one?

I've used profanity against other members here a small handful of times when I felt the stronger language was beneficial. Specifically because said members were talking to me like I was a POS, and I wanted to express to them in a way they might understand, that I'm not ok with that kind of treatment.

I don't know if I would say Jesus would be ok with that or not. While there is no teaching about profanity specifically, Jesus does teach us to turn the other cheek. If I had to guess, I'd say the way I acted wasn't the ideal perfection that Jesus taught us, but probably not necessarily sinful, either.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Exactly, it's not sinful to tell people to go back to sucking cock, what's sinful is not believing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

As for SteveII, I didn't see that. If he did then I'll have to take him to the woodshed. You can come and watch if you want. I heard you're into that kind of thing.

I see no indication of Chad being butthurt. Looks like he's pointing out an inconsistency he sees in you accusing him of not contributing.

You know I have always considered trading insults on AF primarily an unserious form of verbal jousting and playful taunting. Mostly, except for notable exceptions. And in those cases Christ's advice was not about letting people repeatedly make false accusations without consequences.
