FWIW The Japanese word for "The Gospel" is Fukuin
There's isn't much that's less profane than that.

If someone wanted to put dirty stuff on the Japan forum they could try to do so in Japanese... and slip by any filters that FT is likely to create. But really, if someone wants to be an ..., they will do so whether we filter their language or not.
