I hear "screwed up" a lot from the pulpit, when I was a teenager that meant the "f" word. I have come to think it is bad taste, maybe my pendulum is swinging at the exteme end? I don't know.

I see where you're coming from. First off, while the term "ass" is in Scripture it's referring to a donkey not anatomy. I think to use it in terms of anatomy is over the top. I also agree with you, the use of the phrase "screwed up" is a bit uncouth. The term "cr@p" is synonymous with "dung" in my opinion so that one doesn't bother me so much if a preacher is driving home a point with force. Maybe he should have just said "dung"... lol... he'd still get his point across and there would be no issue from anyone. lol
I know a preacher who used the terms "f@g" and "f@ggot" from the pulpit. I confronted him after service and told him that while I love and respected him I have a duty to keep my son from using derogatory words used to insult and hurt people. I told him I didn't want to hear it again. Period... and if my son repeated it I'd demand a public apology. hehehe
