I don't either, actually for the most part. I do believe in and have respect for a power greater than myself, and use the term God for convenience, but Christians would mostly not recognize the way I see that power. That's a different discussion.

On the other hand, out of respect for my wife and whatever other females might be nearby, and despite six years in the Navy, I try not ever to voice the "f-word." That's also a different discussion.

Mostly, I try not ever to tell other people what they should or should not do.
