As somebody with Crohn’s Disease, I hope my body and how it functions isn’t a testament to the brilliance of God. My body and how it functions is a testament to how using the s-word is sometimes wholly appropriate.
I most certainly understand as I have quite a few health conditions myself. If I may offer another perspective: the cascading effect of symptoms that arises when one sole function goes awry illustrates how delicately intertwined the body's systems are. In most healthy individuals, the number of cells and systems that must come together in perfect orchestration is nearly unfathomable. In most ill individuals, perhaps one or a few functions have malfunctioned, yet many more still function in harmony. That, I see as evidence of God's genius design. For that reason, I choose to honor His design by not deliberately using the anatomy or physiology He created as a basis for insult. I do understand that in a moment of severe pain, injury, or other symptom, it is difficult to maintain full control of one's speech; however, in that case, it is not deliberate.
