    I never understood how “hell” and “damn” are considered forbidden words by christian-conservatives. The stem directly from their own vocabulary, they are all about those categories, yet they don’t want to see them in discourse

      I don’t know for sure, but I believe it’s a context issue.

      There’s nothing wrong with discussing the size and consistency of my bowel movements with my doctor, but it’s probably not OK for me to do that with a stranger on the bus.
