What is the Most Oppressive Word in the English Language?

Jesus said: “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” --Matthew 12:36-37.—

As we look at the problems of the world we think in terms of some simplified solutions that fits the perception we have of life, based on the way we have been made to understand the words we have been given.  We use words while totally ignorant of their purpose for existence, seldom understanding how language controls and oppresses the essence of human life; and, how those who control the language become the molders of our thinking.  For they use the language to create a “word oppressive society”.

It is interesting (and sadly amusing) to see how people who are victims get mad at the witness for pointing out the criminal, how the oppressed get mad at the voice that speaks out against the oppressor.  And how such people will declare that they are not victims and that they are not oppressed as their souls painfully struggle to survive in a word oppressive society.

For centuries we have been being taught to use a word that subliminally desensitizes our subconscious to the reverence of the Divinity of the Creator, to such low levels that a people have been made to have no problem saying “goddamn” and “god is dead”.  Even worse, people accept movies in which the Creator is depicted as human being, and do not even flinch at the title:  O GOD YOU DEVIL….
