Some of them are funny, but I feel bad listening to them

If it’s just vulgar language, and not using God’s name, I’d guess it wouldn’t be a sin, but truth be told, I would take offense if it were sent to me. I’d hope that a friend would not serve garbage to my mind, anymore than he’d serve garbage to my stomach.

When I say bad language I mean swearing. Some of Billy Connely I find funny, for example.

Mmmm, could lead into sin, since a comedian using foul language and thus crossing the lines of decency in language will undoubtedly cross lines in his content too, with innuendo and the like. I would avoid if I were you.
I re-converted a while back and cut out my TV watching and literally submerged myself in my faith, reading, praying, etc. When I watched a bit of TV after this period, I was horrified at how many programmes I previously thought of as “innocent” or “harmless” were actually promoting a seriously anti-Christian message, and I think it’s the same with this, if you wean yourself off it now for a while, engross yourself with your faith, and look at it again in the future, it will leave you feeling very uncomfortable watching it.

i have one of those examination of conscience lists for confession and it lists foul language as a sinIf it’s just vulgar language, and not using God’s name, I’d guess it wouldn’t be a sin, but truth be told, I would take offense if it were sent to me. I’d hope that a friend would not serve garbage to my mind, anymore than he’d serve garbage to my stomach.
why wouldnt it…people know its wrong to use that language, if it was acceptable to use that language then we’d all use it with everybody we talk to and we’d encourage babies to use it too…but we don’t do that, because deep down we know its not right
