Wow, you really have a lot of anger inside. Maybe you and Mr Watson could share costs on an anger management class.

I consider myself a Christian, and am continuously amazed at the vile hatred that is espoused in His name. I've heard preachers talk about AIDs as "God's Justice", I've seen the "God Hates Fags" signs, and the such. Hopefully, you do not subscribe to such hatred.

You are so very wrong- it is tres amusante. E was right, this thread is funny.

#1. I am not an atheist.
#2. Jesus' teachings are interesting and very similar to the Buddha's. I find his message of non-violence, peace, and compassion compelling. Clearly you have missed those teachings. Perhaps a re-read is in order, if you've read them at all.

#3 Taking the name of the lord in vain is not the only "cursing" that religious people generally object to. I believe lewd behavior is mentioned as verbotten in the bible. Obscene language is lewd and lewdness is not pleasant in the eyes of your God. Here are some passages for you, that you may learn the word of your God:
You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD.

and

For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23 All these evils come from inside and make a man `unclean.'"

hmmmmm- adultery? slander? arrogance? See anything here that applies to...you?

The F word, for example, is usually eschewed as lewd. If you do not believe that, that is interesting. I will note that you do not think Jesus would be worried about your rather nasty conversational habits. He probably wouldn't like the hate in you heart either. Speaking of hearts. Better work on that.
