Re: is Cursing wrong
Depends on what you mean by cursing, do you mean swearing or a ritual where you put a curse on someone.
The ritual I would have a problem with as it is classed as witchcraft or satanic.
As to words that might not be socially acceptable, I think that words only have the meaning you give them.
For example if you say sh*t, it still would hold the same meaning if you said sugar , it's just that one is more socially acceptable than the other.
I try not to swear because I am trying to be an example to the community around me, also the Bible has lots of things to say about talking dribble.
I would also not want to be a stumbling block to another in or out of the faith.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Re: is Cursing wrong
Whether or not it's right, I guess is down to what your moral viewpoint is of swearing. Purely from a philosophical perspective, I think when you're in a public place then it would probably be....a bit better not to use profanity, if I'm honest - I guess because parents walking about with children, things like that.
When you're on your own or with friends, then you have a decision to make as to whether it's right or wrong.
