You may not realise it, but you are offending all those non-Christian
(including Atheist, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, etc...) user of the list by
demanding that we not use a perfectly normal English word. Oh, and not
to mention all those Spanish\Latino who actually have that word as their
given name...
Words can be used to convey emotive thoughts, but it is always the
reader that empowers each word with their own emotions.
Thanks,
