Profanity is a sign of weakness spiritually, typically. That is understandable but try and be better.

Being overly concerned about profanity is a sign that you are the type of self-righteous person that wears your own farts as perfume. The type of uptight mother fucker that no one likes to be around except other uptight mother fuckers. There are infinitely more important things to think about, but such people are too busy thinking they are better than others for retarded reasons. There is no practical reason to avoid swearing and there is no meaningful way in which avoiding profanity in day to day life will benefit anyone. People who care about swearing at all are ultimately retarded.

Okay, but personal attacks will eventually get you banned here. Insults lead to more insults, which leads to even more insults then. Its a debate site, really. Unless someone makes a "roast me" topic or rap battle, insults are usually considered uncalled for here. Again, you can use insults all you want. I am just saying its common reason for ban now.

If you want to use insults, just insult arguments instead of a person.

For example now: "This claim is so stupid."

You can insult arguments here, religions, beliefs, positions, countries, but not people.

"I hold it to be a proof of great prudence for men to abstain from threats and insulting words towards anyone, for neither the one nor the other in any way diminishes the strength of the enemy; but the one makes him more cautious, and the other increases his hatred of you, and makes him more persevering in his efforts to injure you."
-- Niccolo Machiavelli, "The Discourses", Book 2 Ch XXVI

Some people want to make others feel bad.

What does Jesus think about swearing?
Jesus summarizes the teaching: “You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform” your oaths to the Lord (Matt. 5:33). Disciples must keep their word, especially when others depend on them, even if circumstances change or oath keeping brings real loss. No one should break vows unless keeping them requires sin.
