Language Scraps: Where did swearing get its taboo status?

http://languagescraps.blogspot.com/2012/04/where-did-swearing-get-its-taboo-status.html

The small event, instead of being added to the mosaic of consciousness and memory, falls through some black hole, and I fall with it. What has happened to me in this new world?

http://languagescraps.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 13, 2011. God, the Afterlife, and the Scientific Method. I would like to know whether the traditional religious convictions which hold that “God exists! 8221; and that “there is an afterlife! 8221; are created using the scientific method to interpret subjective data. As I understand the situation of knowledge in relationship to the scientific method, the certainty generated by using the scientific method to reliably predict future events is only. 8221; and “there is an afterlife!
