No. The program was simply using the cursing to, as Brian said, display the intensity of the situation. No sexuality, no crudeness. It was intentional. I’m not advocating for it, I’m simply stating a fact. I think something you need to remember is the Bible is rated R. It’s not a children’s story. It contains murder, sexual assault, a father who murders his daughter, and a lowly carpenter hanging naked on a tree. Yet the Bible does not use it wantonly. It uses for a purpose.
Documentation is not the same as advocation, and again, no swear word, IMO, should be used in Christian fiction, or books in general. I simply state that perhaps you are being a little to hasty in your judgement. ‘Foul language and crude speech,’ that the Bible forbids could extend to excessive sarcasm, or anything, like gossip. Do we then never document gossip in our books? Not if it is for a purpose.

Again, I heavily stress that curse words should never be used wantonly and IMO there is no place for it in good fantasy, but I only ask this if you: do not be too hasty in your judgement, and if you have verses, present them, and I shall happily hear your argument.

Prayer is a necessity in everything we do, so I think it is neglectful to say we should not pray over the writing of our books.

I agree with you that we should not pray over how close we can get to sinning, but if it is to document something that brings glory to God, I think prayer and consideration is something necessary.
