Subject: Why is "Hell" considered a swear word?

I noticed how some kids are not allowed to say "Hell" because their parents consider it a swear word. I don't understand why though. Hell is a place...

I remember is school when kids wanted to say hell they said "H" "e" "double hockey sticks"

Sex is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location into a girl's destination to increase population for the next generation. Do you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?

How the hell can you guys love the environment? YOU KEEP EATING ALL THE GOD DAMN PLANTS!

There are people who don't believe in religion. So, what will we do with Hell?

''Misanthropes have some admirable if paradoxical virtues. It is no exaggeration to say that we are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial "ships that pass in the night." As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.''

''I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart. ''

Why the Hell would Hell be a swear word.
Hell, some people are stupid.

At least hell has negative connotations. The "worst" swear words include making love, giving yourself pleasure and the female reproductive site. You can't explain that.

Because God.

Because church.
If anything the church teaches you the opposite.

It's a swear word because
1. It's a bad place
2. Probably the same reason any other word is a swear word

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

-Sgt. Johnson

I think it's not considered a swear word when you are actually talking about the place 'Hell' but if you just use it for the heck of it like "What the hell?" then it's considered a swear word.

I dunno.

But Hell IS a place located in the Cayman islands. I don't understand why its considered a curse word either OP

  • 01.01.2013 2:48 PM PDT

It's a place.

Usually known as America.

I dunno why it's considered a swear either.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

I have never been told Hell is a swear word. I guess if I'd been raised by my Grandma (a devout Jehova's Witness) It would have been different.
