A Conversation for h2g2 House Rules
The word "damned" in its context re: religion

Am I allowed to describe a fictional person or similar mythological character who has fallen from grace, e.g. Dr Faust, the Vampire Lestat, Dr Frankenstein, Londo Mollari, using the adjective "damned" in my H2G2 entries?
Or does "damned" count as too strong for this Guide?

Thank you for the assistance. I am aware of the need to mind one's "P's" and "Q's" on board here, more than anywhere online: and I shall strive to do my best to keep mind, heart and tongue clean when writing here.
However, if I am to write about Charles Hoy Fort and Forteanism, vampires, werewolves, demons or the punk group called The Damned, I am probably going to have to risk using the D word in those respective contexts, and reserve its use as invective to off-board.
Om shanti.
