Now Norm! They’re not supposed to but the Bible says the tongue is the unruliest member of the body. Throw in anger and you have that sign.
I look to Jesus’ example. He did flip a few tables on occasion. Which would qualify as a tad higher an ‘offense’ than a phrase never spoken of in the Bible/10 Commandants.
Unless Jesus wasn’t Christian ;)
Personally I’d like to see that phrase used a lot more to Liberals. They understand it. They could care less what we say otherwise.
St. Paul once suggested some church smart alecks to castrate themselves.
This isn’t a license to be gratuitous, no.

And Yet, gotta get all self righteous because....Micheal Moore?
People certainly like to conflate polite language with Christianity. But Christ himself wasn’t unfamiliar with colorful figures of speech- He used the phrase ‘you viper’s brood’ which is a dynamic equivalent to our modern ‘son of a bitch’- it merely substitutes snakes for dogs.
Martin Luther, being a Medieval German and not a middle class American suburbanite, could turn a filthy phrase with the skill of a rap artist. It was acceptable in German society of that day even for an Augustinian monk.
