Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I never got why they think these are curse words. Is it a weird religious thing?

Damn and hell aren't too bad but "goddamn" or "jesus fucking christ" or some other way of "using the lords name in vain" is a major trigger for a lot of southern baptist bigots. They take whatever fucked up version of the bible they use very seriously.

"Mary mother of god" must really throw them into a Protestant crisis. Is it idolatry if they claim it's swearing?

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph" in the same vain
