Starting with ''I'm going to be taking the piss'' muddies the waters somewhat'.

When I was a child, to say 'damn' was the cause of a slight wince in my family and environment!! And one certainly did not 'take the Lord's name in vain'. No problem, as far as I was concerned, as I've never had the least inclination to swear. Then during the years I was married, a multitude of words was used against and about me as abuse, so with a comprehensive vocabulary in my memory, I had even less interest in using it; the more the world has changed, the more one realises which words are used in an abusive way and which not; I still have no wish or need to use them myself; offence is taken by some, but not by me; since I long ago worked out that it is the user who has the nasty feelings, to which they are welcome.
What are your present-day objections to the use of the language in the Tim Minchin video? Do you think your God might be offended? Are you? Why? Yes, the language would be labelled by some as gratuitous bad language, but people know he is not intending to offend, but to add
a strong emphasis.
Oh, and by the way, Timn Minchin is just pointing out that all claims made involving all aspects of paranormal, supernatural and woo have zero objective evidence to back them up.
