Corrupt and profane speech reveals a corrupt and profane heart.
Our whole society is sick, from the head (leaders in politics and business, law, academia), and the heart (religious and so-called Christian people) to the sole of the foot (the general population). This Biblical imagery is found in Isaiah 1:2-6, when God referred to His people, Israel, being in rebellion to His authority.
It is a symptom of extensive moral corruption when profane, perverse, obscene, prurient language is used openly and without shame. It is a subtle, but deliberate public form of anarchy.
Matthew 15:10-11
Matthew 12:36-37
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Ephesians 4:29-32
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

I am constantly seeing and hearing "Christians" use words that are corrupt and demeaning. The vast majority of those who see themselves as Christians in this post-Christian world have renounced the Divine work of clean hands and pure hearts.
Matthew 15:10-11
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 12:36-37
