*SIGH.*  I'm getting a bit exasperated here.  Once again, "B_______" was an
English translation of a Hebrew word that had no profanity associated with
it. The original Hebrew NEVER used a profane word in the passage you cite.
 Again, by this logic, since the Bible refers to the bodily function of
p___ing against the wall, it's ok to use this word behind the pulpit...and
it's NOT.
