I eventually at one point became immune towards foul language. And why shouldn’t I because from the time I was a baby up until now, all of the adults in my life at the very least dropped a few f-bombs here and there and it seemed that G** D*** was being more often than “I love you”. When I was very young (about 4-5), I was a bit scared of my parents, so the first time I parroted their language, under the pains of extreme punishment, I did not cuss until I was 12, when I asked them permission if I could cuss around them. I was the strange child that would rather read an encyclopedia than play video games, or even watch TV at times, so I managed to build a fairly big vocabulary that did not involve cussing. But once I started using foul language, although the change was not immediate, I eventually stopped trying to find alternate ways of expressing myself, and it became a force of habit for me to make even the sailors blush
. I don’t see any terrible sin in cussing in itself, as there are times when I am so scared or so angry that I cannot reach for any other word. This is much less (maybe a couple times a week) than I used to, when it was at least a couple times an hour. I also decided that I needed to stop cussing when I really started meditating on what Romans 14 was calling me to do. I was a stumbling block to others because of my language (I once overheard someone talking about me, and one asked “How can she be Christian and talk like that?”), and though I didn’t see it as particularly sinful, the effects it caused to others was sinful. Because of that, I find it quite offensive myself today.
As for nudity, I think in some cases it depends on the culture and in what context, however I feel that it is being called too offensive, but I do live in the deep south, where I have heard people tell me I was going to hell because I enjoyed classical nudist art for the aesthetic value of it. I know of a movie or two that in certain countries were rated the equivalant of PG-13, but when showed and sold in the US, it was rated R because of nudity shown with childbirth, and it was pretty relevant to the movie as a whole. I still don’t like the idea of censorship at all, though, because of the slippery slope that it could potentially cause, but there should be a better way of giving fair warnings to viewers. I also would like to see another “wholesome entertainment” TV station or two (or three, four…) added besides Hallmark TV and Ion TV (formerly PAX). I miss, however misguided it could be at time, “Touched by an Angel”, that provided me a positive experience where I knew that I wouldn’t be surprised by any nudity, cussing, or alot of blood, guts and gore. But this is only my personal opinion.
God Bless!

did not our Lord say that it is not what goes into a man that defiles him rather it is what comes out of him(words).?
And if you spill Hot Coffee in your lap “Ooops” just wouldn’t work! 
But can be very descriptive and hard to replace somes times. It should not become a habit, especially for a Christian.
St. Christopher hears from me alot.
