Political correctness just shows a complete ignorance of how language works. It’s not the word that makes people think of something as “bad,” it’s what the word represents. And as soon as people learn that your new word represents the same thing, that word starts “sounding” just as bad.

Oddly enough, I see an opening here for a gospel world view to get a foot hold.

God does not redeem museum saints; God redeems sinners and sometimes they are pretty rank sinners before the work commences.

And no, the work of redemption isn't even theirs! It's that of SWEET JESUS, on the Cross.

Now where they take their lives from THAT point is another question. If they misbehave God chastises them. Sometimes harshly if need be. Because God is determined that they never be lost again.

Anyhow this can be echoed in miniature on this mortal coil. However to really be a good thing, it needs to be a genuine gospel of turning back to a genuine God to receive genuine grace. Not some synthi-gospel about living up to the approval of men.
