Profanity means taking something that is sacred and making it trash.
The F word in passion between a man and woman can express something of great
depth, but on 20 meters after a burp is trashy.
Sex isn't dirty, but we can make it so by making it profane!
The word "Pornia" in Greek is the root of "pornography" and it means to
"lie" - that is why it is a sin because it is a lie a terrible distortion of
that is beautiful and sacred.
