So tell us Windy, how are we supposed to determine what is profane and what is not?

The very definition of the word describes an irreverance toward God, does it not?

You'll find words like, unholy, heathen, pagan, and vulgar in the definition of profane.

You'll also find the word obscene in the definition of profane. That would include, offensive, lewd, abominable, disgusting, and repulsive.

It would seem to me that the definition of what constitutes profanity gives us a heck of a lot of latitude when it comes to inserting our "moral values" into the equation.

If they use the words "jesuschrist" or "goddamn" in a game that I'm working, they have offended me, and that's enough for me to send them to the showers.

Tim.
