    Is the “do thou teach him to bless and not to curse” why people do not like swearing (well not sure much about christians but I always got the impression swearing is frowned upon in those communities)

      This is not a book in any modern bible, and it’s not something that most Christians have generally read, so probably not. A literal thousand years ago, maybe, but today you would probably only have read it if you’re in academia or have a specific interest in it.

      The ban on cursing is from the 10 commandments, basically, “don’t take God’s name in vain” got expanded to every type of cursing, not just the ones that had God in them.
