\ngrew up in the church. Consequently I became fluent in Christian-ese by age of
\n10. Christian-ese for those who don’t know is the ability to communicate ideas
\nthrough the prism of some tradition or denominationally imposed borders usually
\nbased on terms and words taken from the King James Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nJ used a lot of cool words and idioms that define American Christian-ese like “blessed”
\nand “stumbling block”.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nconsidered inappropriate for use in a Sunday service. One of the classics being
\nthe word “pisseth” (1 Sam: 25:22) which by adding the middle ages “eth” sound
\nsuddenly makes it sound less scatological and much more sophisticated. It seems
\nto me one mans “piss” is another man’s “tinkle”.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe fact that some Christians do not use the word “crap”. Which begs the
\nquestion if “pisseth” is in the Word could they transform “crap” into the
\nmiddle ages vernacular of “crappeth” which sounds not only less offensive but
\nactually something a middle ages blue blood would say. At least it beats
\n“poopeth”.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
\nsuffix “eth” could be used on many occasions by the ultra jot and tittle minded
\nlaw abiding legalist by allowing them to let loose when need be to get their
\npoint across all the while staying within their self imposed boundaries of
\nappropriate Christian-ese.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe dreaded “fart” word becomes “farteth” which not only describes the action
\n“It seems there’s a farteth in the vicinity”, (as though we ever need someone
\nto point it out) but sounds sophisticated thus getting them one step closer to
\nholiness.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nword “dang” that some avoid as a synonym for “damn” (which is in the Bible and used<\/i> there ironically enough) could be
\nmorphed into “dangeth”, which has a cute ” I’m a debutante in Memphis and can’t
\nwait to get this dangeth party started”, ring to it!<\/span><\/p>\n
\na professional comic for 20 years and a professional Christian for 39, I am
\nwell aware of the standards of decency that we as followers should stand for. I
\nhave spent my career not using curse words to prove the point that creativity
\nis funnier than crude.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nam also a believer though in the learned exercise of context over content
\nmeaning that sometimes words that are earthier can be used on occasion if they
\nhelp emphasize a point to draw people closer to truth.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nDavid says He will kill everyone that “pisseth against the wall” he is using a
\nHebrew expression referring to men. It is a gritty and earthy word and, may I
\nsay, a very manly word. It wakes you up and forces you to feel what the writer
\nfeels.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ndon’t believe God cares about the word or He wouldn’t have left it in the Bible
\nyet we live in a Christian-ese culture that would never use pisseth in a sermon
\nfor fear of offending, agreed?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nhave we reached a place where those who believe the Bible is written by God,
\nstill censor some of His own words<\/b>
\nsince they are considered inappropriate in mixed company? Wow! Now THAT is
\nreaching holiness that even has God scratching his head………(assuming of course
\nGods head ever itches..)<\/span><\/p>\n
