words that irk me

This shows how ignorant you are of "our" Book.
If you leave this Book on the nightstand all it can do is collect dust.
But if you open it, and do read it, there is a whole new world in there. And altho this Book itself is little more than a collection of paper, ink, and words; it is the power in those words, together with Faith, that is well-able to get chit done. I have testified as to what those words have done for me, in the here and now, so that others like me, here on FABO, can access the same power for themselves.
Just because you read a Bible doesn't mean others do, that was the point of Mark's quote.

If you fully believe like you claim, you wouldn't even use the almost swear words you do. Changing a letter doesn't make it any better, the intent is there, so you might as well use the proper word and complete your sin.
