: I dunno if it's Kev's answer, but this is mine.
: I wrote a script like this (well, not LIKE THIS. It had angels in it), and the reason I have behind the cursing and whatnot is that angels are, indeed, allowed to sin. Especially if it's something that involves words. My reason was that an angel couldn't go completely sin-free, or else they'd be running a marathon with Christ (Christ being the only person to reside in Heaven who hasn't sinned).
: I dunno if it makes sense, but that's what I said.
: But my angels never used God's name in vain.
It makes sense, but sinning isn't just restricted to the ten commandments. I reckon angels wouldn't be allowed to disobey the ten commandments, but wouldn't be able to help sinning. (Foxy chicks in white dresses with angel wings - go figure). The angels in DOGMA had been banished, so it didn't matter anyway.
