6) I somehow find another Christian much more approachable and down-to-earth if I hear them cuss. It feels like they're a human just like me
7) People who cuss occasionally but don't do it angry don't bother me at all
8) I do think there are certain situations where you should not cuss at all. Ever. Like a courtroom or your grandparents church.

10) I don't think God holds our cussing over our heads any more than any other sin. I think He is constantly calling us to a place of more holiness, but I also think He has grace for our slipups, and our sometimes less-than-pristine sense of humor.
