The Bible has numerous warnings that careless words have eternal consequences. It is time for all of us to curb our tongues both for the good of society but more importantly for the good of our souls. To understand the seriousness of inappropriate speech you need only consult Revelations 21:8. All liars are in the category with the cowardly, the unbelievers, the abominable, murderers, whore-mongers, sorcerers and idolaters; they will be cast into a pool of fire and brimstone. A clear warning if there ever was one.

Just in case you are interested here are other Biblical references for consideration.
