Religious Expressions

Religious Expressions
I recently had a theist friend (yes, a 'friend' friend) question my use of religious expressions. He seems to feel that my use of religiously-based language indicates that - on some level - I harbour a belief in god, if only a residual one. I tried to explain that it happens to be a cultural habit, not a religious one. Pretty much on a par with using money with picture of the queen on it doesn't make me a monarchist.

Here are some of the expressions I find myself using:

'Jaysus wept / Suffering jaysus': Indicates frustration, usually (but not always) with another person.

'God-curst': Very bad person, place or thing.

'Since Christ was a corporal': A good or bad thing that rarely happens; a very long time.

'The Devil must be beating his wife': Used to describe two seemingly contradictory things that happen at the same time (e.g. rain on a sunny day).

'Jaysus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph': exclamation of great surprise.

Anyone have some others they'd like to share?

Sure --

Bleeding Christ, Fucking Christ, and Jesus Christ and General Jackson, Jesus Joseph and Mary -- all simple exclamations. Jumpin' Jehosephat, too.

Goddamnit (said as one word)

God-forsaken (out in the middle of nowhere; desolate).

Good lord!

Nailed to the cross -- got an ass-chewing, punished severely.

Climb down off'n your cross -- said to someone seeking undeserved sympathy.

There's more, they're skipping my head right now.

Jesus Christ on a f*ckin' cracker

I'll be mindful of the last two when I'm speaking to believers, provided they aren't assholes; or if I don't know them well enough to tell if they're assholes or not.

Jesus Pole-vaulting Christ! (incredulity)
God Bless it! (reverse-curse word said through clenched teeth)

Those pretty much get me through my days. Wink

Why, I might have to fuck Jesus's nail holes using shit for lube for REAL !!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

A pretty good description of Isreal... usually followed by "sh!thole" if referring to Jerusalem.
