Fact: words are by definition a form of peaceful expression whether or not they're considered naughty at bible study. Some, including myself, would consider hate speech an exception to this rule, but swearing isn't hate speech.

Fact: terrorism is by definition a hostile and violent action and as such comparing the two even hypothetically is disingenuous at best.

violent action

That, I just said that I am gonna do it, I didn’t act on it, but I would still get in trouble

So what you're saying is that saying the word fuck is just as scary to you as threatening to commit terrorism? That's totally rational and fact-based! 🙄
