Profanity can still be used to place emphasis on some parts, which can really help set the vibe.
I've seen it used properly to win audiences over plenty of times.

Normally, I would just yell (without words) when I'm in pain. Besides "Jesus is my Saviour" is a positive thing while curse words evoke negative emotions.
You do realize in modern society Jesus Christ is often used as a swear or an expression of frustration/anger.

I'll have to say that that's very true. Sometimes a properly placed swear word can make things so much more funny.

Ironically, many "profane" words are derived from German words.
Let that be the thought of the day

Indeed, when the name of the LORD is used in vain, it becomes a negative thing to say.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. -Exodus 20:7

I honestly don't see why you felt the need to capitalize all of Lord. It doesn't change anything. Have you ever not quoted the bible by the way?
As for the cursing thing, meanings of words change as the years progress. Expecting every definition of a word to stay the same is ridiculous. Humans adapt and change things all the time, so of course meanings are going to change as well.

Its technically how new languages are developed.
Except its harder for new languages to be born nowadays because we're all connected via media.
Isolate people and there will definitely be a branch language.

The old testament will often use "LORD" as a replacement for "Jehovah". The translators were the ones who did it, not me. Have I ever not quoted the bible? Well no because I just quoted it in my last post lol. I get the feeling I'm misunderstanding your question...

Exactly! How else would America's version of "English" come about if not for us changing what words mean and how they're pronounced?

Many people refer to languages such as Italian, Spanish, and French as "Languages of Love". I call German the Language of Rage.
