Profanity or not???

I have often thought how profanity got started. Who determined whether or not a word is profanity? It could, however, depend upon how you say it, but NO! profanity is profanity, no matter how you look at it. Take the word “ass.” How did that little three letter word become profanity? after all it’s in the Bible. An ass in the bible is referred to as a donkey, however, how does the word rectum relate to a donkey? When you get frustrated or out of sorts, the first thing you do to express yourself is to exclaim a word of profanity. Why, can’t you just firmly tell the person you are frustrated with them or don’t appreciate their character? Because the world thinks it’s cool to just “cuss” someone out. It makes you macho to call someone a “Bitch,” or “MF,” or just plain say “F” you. That really calms you down doesn‘t it-- right? You barf out a profane word to someone, thus relieving yourself of stress, only to pass it on to the person who was the recipient your profanity. “Oh boy.” you think -- “I just cussed him/her out,” I feel like I’m on top of the world now.
Take the word “damn” -- (damn)? That’s something in the river, so how did this become profanity? To add insult to injury, man has decided to disrespect God by putting his name before a profane word. People actually enjoy disrespecting the LORD. Did the fact that there is a “n” on the end of the word make it a cuss word? How about “hell?” this word is in the Bible to describe a fire that will burn forever. Adam named the animals according to the Bible, BUT, he didn’t invent profanity? So again I say, “how did it come about?” How come we can’t just say -- I have to urinate instead of “piss?” or the profane word for defecating, not to mention flagilence (the art of breaking wind) instead of using the word “fart.”
Essay Sample on "Evolution of Profanity: From Shakespeare to Everyday Modern Speech"
Evolution of Profanity: From Shakespeare to Everyday Modern Speech The evolution of written profanity began roughly in the sixteenth century, and continues to change with each generation that it sees. Profanity is recognized in many Shakespearean works, and has continually evolved into the profane language used today. Some cuss words have somehow maintained their original meanings throughout hundreds of years, while many others have completely changed meaning or simply fallen out of use. William Shakespeare, though it is not widely taught, was not a very clean writer. In fact, he was somewhat of a potty mouth. His works encompassed a lot of things that some people wish he had not. "That includes a fair helping of sex, violence, crime, horror, politics, religion, anti-authoritarianism, anti-semitism, racism, xenophobia, sexism, jealousy, profanity, satire, and controversy of all kinds" (Macrone 6). In his time, religious and moral curses were more offensive than biological curses. Most all original (before being censored) Shakespearean works contain very offensive profanity, mostly religious, which is probably one of many reasons that his works were and are so popular. "Shakespeare pushed a lot of buttons in his day- which is one reason he was so phenomenally popular. Despite what they tell you, people like having their buttons pushed" (Macrone 6). Because his works contained so many of these profane words or phrases, they were censored to protect the innocent minds of the teenagers who are required to read them, and also because they were blasphemous and offensive. Almost all of the profanity was removed, and that that was not had just reason for being there. Some of the Bard's censored oaths are; "God's blessing on your beard" Love's Labors Lost, II.i.203 This was a very rude curse because a man's facial hair was a point of pride for him. and "to play with someone's beard" was to insult him.
