Our cultures are steeped in cussing. You cannot go to a film or listen to most music without pervasive speech being involved. Such language has become so common place, that most Christians abide it and even participate on occasion. In the Scriptures it says, "Do not let any unwholesome, foul, and abusive talk or language come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building up others according to their needs." (Ephesians 4:29).
Many Christians are unaware of the origins of most curse words. The most used one, known as the F Word comes from Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) where they take a virgin and put them in circle or pentagram and many men have sex with her to pass demons (The Origin of the F Word, Former Warlock turned Pastor). The S world is the name of a demon. Using the word suck, which is now not consider a bad word, alludes to succubus (sexual) spirits and had its origins in oral sex.
So why do people call upon demonic powers in their distress? More curious is why Christians would openly practice these words? Among cursing is also taking the Lord's name in vain. People say Jesus' name but in a degrading and curse like tone. It seems in most films the only time Christ's name is mention is in swearing.
Pervasive language is like a pernicious mental illness. Once people start talking in such ways it become difficult to not talk that way. It is an infection, a plague of sorts for the speech. It denotes several things about those who harbor it: one that they are uneducated and can only repeat the same vulgar words over and over and two that they have nothing worthwhile to say. Vile speech is rampant and the cure is almost elusive. For believers there is insensitive to cease cursing, but that is usually because of attending Church or being around other Christians. To stop speaking such sickening words takes resolve and the help of the Holy Spirit. Some people say they cannot heal their tongue, that they have Coprolalia (once called Tourette Syndrome). I do not buy such a diagnosis and mind you that I respect the psychology field. Coprolalia is involuntary and an inability to control cursing randomly. Well I argue this is demonic and not just a mental illness. Because the curse words channel and call the demons to a person, it is viable and thus believable that they can enter the person or at least oppress them and feed them thoughts.
I have witnessed in collage how an entire classroom can be transformed by cursing. In one particular class, there was an individual who started using profanity and the entire room began to laugh and cheer. Suddenly the atmosphere or vibe of the room changed and now it was about being cool and cursing than learning anything. In addition to this, I have noticed teachers start using pervasive language to get students to engage. Instead of being educators with moral authority and expecting excellence, they stoop down to swearing to become popular with the class and keep their attention.
It is becoming difficult to wade through this world when so many have succumbed to speaking obscene and morally repugnant words. One cannot go very far anywhere without hearing utterances of the familiar but foul words we have all heard at least in a movie. As a solution I recommend that as Christians we not only refrain and resist speaking in such perverse ways, but that when we hear it we tell the person "so are you a Satanist?" if they say the F word or start singing praises to the Lord! If the cursing individual says that your worship offends them or makes them uncomfortable, retort back "your cursing offends me and makes me uncomfortable." These are some radical steps, but at least resist the urge to conform to this world. Remember we are "not to conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds." (Romans 12:2)
To renew our minds we must commune with Christ. We know that no unwholesome word came out of Jesus' mouth. He even said to bless those who curse you and to forgive those who use you. Even on the cross when being mocked Jesus forgave his enemies and urged us to love those who hate us. This does not mean we are to be spineless, nay on the contrary, to bare insult and not retaliate or offer reprisal shows great strength. It is controlling our urges to respond hurtfully that demonstrates how renewed our minds have become.
