That's called babbling.
The purpose of language is communication. The "rules" of language were not established by lingua-nazis to make us all conform to some arbitrary standard. They have been established over time to facilitate better communication, and they evolve as the language evolves. If you insist on disregarding the basic rules of writing, you become unintelligible. You fail to communicate. You waste the words you're using.

The poet Ezra Pound called america 'murka' and a 'beanery' (because he thought people came out it manufactured.....like beans). So an 'abusive use of language' isn't something new to poetic minds. Just saying...

Without "sin" there wouldn't be a concept for "purity" and without a concept of "purity" one wouldn't be able to enter "heaven."
