Words cannot sum up how horrifying it is. Oddly, I find the bizarre and sudden dance routine far worse then the explicit statement that your mouth is there to make God happy. (And no, you're not alone in picturing something... else when they say that.)
What I don't get, and never have, is why (so many) Christians seem to interpret "Do not take the Lord's name in vain" as meaning "Don't say fuck or shit".
I can see why they can view it as "Don't say oh my god!" even though "God" is pretty obviously a title or description rather than a name. And I can sorta see how that prohibition can be extended to "Damn" or "Hell" (or "Tabernacle"...) I mean, it's all religious terms...?
But other "bad language"? Seriously? That's just stretching the point beyond recognition.
