 De 23:2 A BASTARD shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even
    to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the
    LORD.
 Zec 9:6 And a BASTARD shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride
    of the Philistines.
 Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers,
    then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons.

"Bastard" is a Biblical word.  There is nothing wrong with using it.
