regarding the phrase F*ck off.........................why wouldn't Christians use it??...............it's nothing to do with the bible..............just a good old fashioned expletive............
I'm not deliberately stirring up trouble here but i'm honestly not sure .....
I myself don't use it very often....but not because of faith or anything, but because it's not particulary classy .........but i have been known to on occassion let rip with the expletives.......

good point fluffy.
i was actually thinking more of the verb useage as in "tell them to f*ck off and then leave".
believe me, i know a lot of christians who use that phrase a lot. but you're right, not very classy. i guess since it originated from a legal term for prostitution, the uppity tend to steer away from any sex references as there form of expletive.

But sometimes there's no substitue for the word...............in fact i think of it as a rather honest adverse reaction................
i know when the kids use it it's all i can do to stop myself from laughing...........

I'm not doubting how Jesus died.
It just sucks that humans are so SICK like that- to hurt and let be hurt really is crazy.

sorry about misinterpreting your earlier post, that's a good point lammy.
human nature is a very strange thing...

That's okay- I really don't tell people to f*ck off very often and I didn't want it put on the bible-it was just frustration, I hate thinking about unfair and cruel punishment on any innocent soul.

OK.......but when i hear some people use explitives it just sounds weird and stupid or they use them wrong.
like a kid at school: What the Sh*t are you doing.
now a good choice would have been f**k or hell.
