Why do you says Jesus Christ!?

HallowedFaith

Ok, first off, I'm not here to start a religious debate. I'm not here to push an agenda or an opinion. I have my life and my faith and you can do what you want with your own. That being said, I am curious about something.

Why do people always revert to "Jesus Christ!" or "Oh my God" or "Holy shit!" whenever they want to express excitement?

I see this all the time and I have tried to figure out how that came about. You're all a bunch of upstanding (lol) people, maybe you can give me some insight. Also, saying you don't know is a fine acceptable answer.

SE needed this today.

jesus christ

Doc

Because blasphemy is awesome.

Callius

Because that's what our culture and society takes as an explitive or as an announcement of surprise?

It's not fucking rocket science dude.

Gunstar

Mad Iron

Yup pretty much.

I think this question would best be posed to TheSAVED.

J. Grant

Because I was raised Christian, and by reflex I still say "Jesus Christ."

I shout out Tom Sawyer or Luke Skywalker.

It doesn't really matter which fictional character's name you yell out for shock or surprise.

Then leave, nutbag. Or go pray to your invisible tooth fairy to make it all stop.

Right right, that is obvious, as it is the foundation of my question I assumed that this had been established. I'm simply trying to find the root of it. Why things spiritual in nature are used the way they are.

Man, we don't need to bash christianity with this one.

We need to explain to the original poster that his world-view is fucking miniscule and his capability for deductive reasoning is about on par with his sex-life.

Which religion is the best, guys?

I think Scientology is the best.

Because it has aliens.

According to Ted Haggert, Evangelical christian males enjoy the best sex life ever.

Of course, having gay sex with your meth dealer is quite a rush.

I heard that Jesus had gay sex with a Republican senator.

Exclamations are just like temporary turrets syndrome, some people want to call out the worst obscenity they know of, others want to shout the name of their favorite deity, some people just go with racial slurs or meaningless words.

Welcome to the English language, serving humanity for who-the-fuck-knows.
I hear it was invented first in India.

Cal, if this thread runs more than 10 pages and doesn't turn into people arguing that their explanation for why Christians are retarded is more correct than others' then I will be very surprised.

Wow, that was an extremely awkward sentence.

How nice.
Actually I'm just trying to gain some insight into why we as humans tend to refer to symbols relating to God as methods for expressing excitement. It's a simple question with a possible complex answer, or not. If you aren't capable of a conversation outside "COCKZ DICKS LOLZ" than I can totally understand where you come from with that stance.

It doesn't have to do with spirituality, you fucking moron.

It's a matter of saturation and the ubiquitous nature of christianity.

What are you trying to say, Butters?

I dunno. The Mormons and Romani both have some seriously cool shit in their made-up Fairy Tales.

It was just that once. I'd been without meth for three days and I was shaking like Scott Peterson's Christmas fishing partner.

Jesus Christ.
