They Are Not to Use Foul Language

In the world of Mormons, colorful language doesn’t have a place. They’re taught to steer clear of foul language and swearing altogether. But here’s the thing—they clearly distinguish between profanity and swearing, and they’re careful to avoid both.

According to the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, swearing involves disrespectfully using God’s name. It’s a matter of reverence and respect for the divine because they are doing everything for a higher power.
