Would you be kind enough to use the name of another individual when making an exclamation in future.

As you don't see Christ as anyone special then why would you pick him over Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman or Krishna etc?

Christ wasn't a person's name.

Re: Oh Christ No The Golf's On

truthpaste doesn't seem to understand that language reflects historical influences.
People using the name of a form of his deity in these modern times reflects the influence of Christianity in these islands just as three days of the week relate to Germanic gods.
We also use terms related to Greek mythology e.g. "Achilles Heel", "Pandora's Box", "Herculean tasks" etc.
Many Japanese proverbs come from Confucianism.
It's no more significant than historical influences.

Well being brought up here and being white and Catholic christ is a very common phrase

F Christ's sake

J h christ

What in God's name was that

Etc etc

I am sure people of different backgrounds swear on or by their God even though some like you would be offended

Is shiva the God of destruction?

It makes no difference as to the name of the God, since love is the real God of all the world. (Apache maxim)

If Truthpaste had been born in an Apache encampment 200 years ago in south-central North America he would have said just that. But being Truthpaste he would have repeated it ad nauseam and bored the pants off all the other Apaches.

Maybe there would have been a young brave called stevo who was willing to sacrifice his time and sanity to keep Truthpaste occupied and away from all the normal people who deserved a quiet life?

It is certainly a thought!

The funny thing is..... is that religion fascinates me - but so few believers understand the context of their so-called holy books and how they were collated, edited, amended, influenced by pre-existing religions, and how contradictory they are and how little their content is supported by real evidence. They can read about their 'loving' god on the one hand whilst learning about their deity killing people, having women raped and others subjected to cruelty at the behest of their big cheese at the same time. It's a very interesting phenomenon that tells you more about the gullibility of humanity than anything else (and the defualt position is believing in the deity one is first introduced to as a child, of course). All answers are to be found in cherry-picked texts that came from an age when people had no or little idea about DNA, blood groups, atoms, electricity, plate tectonics, the expanse of the universe, x-rays, MRI scans and a million other things.
On the other hand, talking snakes and donkeys existed, people could be turned to salt, a virgin birth was possible and people lived untilthey were 800 years old. It's hugely fascinating as folklore but pitiful that people still believe it literally.

What fascinates me about religion is how so many otherwise intelligent liberal people are hooked by it

Poor , uneducated people were scooped up by the missionaries and the Spanish spread Catholicism into South America

The Africans were perfectly happy until the white man threw bibles around

So it's fascinating that people who are not poor and vulnerable and poorly educated are religious

But that's where the fascination ends , the rest of my involvement or interest in religion , God etc is focused on telling people trying to convert me to their form of this cult to naff off
