| It sounds right, "jesus christ", "holy fuck/hell/shit", "goddamn". It's not really the meaning behind those words, i just used it for so many years that it's in my "swearing/expressing yourself vocabulary". |
 |
| Why do you say, "Bless you." when the other person sneezes? It's a social and environment learning thing. I don't have any problem with it. |
 |
| No, because you take the same comfort from it that a religious person does. You've got every reason to say it. |

| The whole porn industry do just that so don't worry dude... |
 |
| No. This is just figurative language now, meant to express and lost its sacred aura |

MortalMelancholy said: ^ Exclamations like "goddammit," or "dear god," or even "holy shit." Is it foolish for nonreligious people to use them? If you want to go specific, most of these words swearing are Old-English; Germanic, therefore pagan? lol |
|
| No. Even if you are religious I don't think using the word is bad unless you mentally put context on the name in a negative way. Otherwise it's just a word. |
| Jesus Christ this is a retarded thread. |
  |
| I don't think it's foolish for anyone to say anything. Free speech, yo. |
 |
| Uh, not sure yet, but I'll let you know if I get sent to eternal damnation after I die. |
  |
| I'm pretty sure that for atheists these aren't "sacred" words, so why not use them? I see nothing foolish about it :v |
  |
| No, I find religious people who are foolish themselves when they can't follow their own scripture correctly. People use those words out of context all the time whenever they're mad or pissed. |
 |
| as a practicing pagan I'm offended you just assumed the deity's gender on a more serious note, I don't think it matters since they can always just say it was a placement word for something else they meant |
 |
| It'd be foolish for religious people to make a big deal out of the use of the words. |
| I do it subconsciously, I don't really care, I mean these words aren't of value to me so why should I feel the need to go out of my way to not say them? |
a personal favorite is 'Christ on a bike!' |

I see nothing foolish about it :v Yeah, but you're saying something that can't actually express the same level of religious fury that a true believer could mean to express <.< _Lucas said: No, I find religious people who are foolish themselves when they can't follow their own scripture correctly. People use those words out of context all the time whenever they're mad or pissed. Well yeah, but what if it was bad enough that that they really wanted to bring some serious religion-powered anger? |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Better yet, say it to religious people! Got em! |
 |
| I'm atheist and I still say and type "Jesus Christ" and "god damn it". Like post number 4 said, it's effective language. |
| While I don't use it, I don't see anything wrong about that. I mean, it's just like a random word that happened to evolve into something you say without thinking. If one says "shit" or "fuck" they probably don't think about metabolic waste or procreation either. |

| As a religious person, I am always touched by people who avoid taking the Lord's name in vain. I always try to be respectful of other people's worldviews in my behavior/speech, modifying them as necessary, to make their lives easier, so it always makes me a bit happier when I find someone who does likewise. I'm not sure how much other people care about my efforts, however. |

| I mean it's really your loss if you don't want to get up with it :P Nothing to get upset about For me though, if I say 'Oh God,' I fuckin mean it ;) |
