> I don't think obscenity exists to offend people either....

Really? Then it has no purpose.

> I don't see the difference... The erotic magazine thing has a coherent thought, and the swearing is simply using words that some people don't want to hear.

Right. When a swear word fails to offend the general populace(or what's assumed to be the general populace), it gets replaced.

> Well, some people don't want to hear praying....

Some people don't want to hear teaching. It's offensive to some. Should that be thrown out as well?
