I know I don't get a vote since I'm not a mod, but as the guy who started this thread, can I get a voice?

Talking about excretory functions when quoting the King James Version of the Bible is one thing; some words have changed their connotations since Elizabethan times. Same for quoting certain texts from secular sources. If I'm quoting Mark Twain, I'll be quoting language I would never use apart from quoted material.

Using potty language when we could choose to use different language seems unnecessary in a religious discussion.

I didn't request that P-Marlowe’s post or posts be pulled. I didn't even know about it until now, and I didn't see the original text so all I know is what is being said about them. But I'd like to politely request that such language not be used unless it has to be used. This thread on Free Republic is getting attention from people in my theological circles who are not Freepers and are being introduced to Free Republic for the first time, and I'd hate for them to think we use potty language on a regular basis.
