I'm [probably] an atheist, and I find God to be a hilarious concept, and would hate to stamp it out or drive it away.

How far can you go with profanity? Does freedom of speech trump all other considerations?
Sure, you can use vulgar and offensive language to a 9 year old boy or girl. That’s just freedom of speech, right?
