Im glad we see eye to eye on some things, but I do say it is a fine line to walk. That’s why I would say never because we are sinners, and err everyday. To walk such a fine line is a dangerous, so while I wish you the best, I wish you caution as well. However you have displayed your appreciation for caution as well, so I trust you will do what you trust is biblical.*nods* I can certainly appreciate that. And it may be worth mentioning that I’ve never personally included a (real-world) swear word in any of my books. That one example I used of the “baloney” alternative was the only time it’s even crossed my mind for my own work, and it’s literally been sitting there with “baloney” marked as a placeholder for years because I still haven’t decided whether or not I need it.
Also, looking back, and correct me if I’m wrong, I said never in regard to wantonly using swear words, not saying never just in general“Documentation is not the same as advocation, and again, no swear word, IMO, should be used in Christian fiction, or books in general” read like a “never” to me, but I’ve been known to misinterpret things so I may have just read it wrong within the context.
