Given the way humanity works, words generally do and should have power (“profane” or otherwise). If they don’t, what’s the point?
On profanity, to me it’s a set of special words to break out for emphasis. If I just casually use them, then they lose value as emphasis. If those words were just as mundane as others, what would be the point of their existence?
