Joe Smith was particularly inept at birthing a religion, that he succeeded is a tremendous disappointment and provides a disturbing look into the unfortunate compulsive gullibility endemic then as well as now. Like the book of Matthew. Seriously, Jesus is riding two donkeys? Two fucking donkeys? And people have been taking this shit seriously for two thousand years...I can't even.

The closest I've ever come is using the phrase "bless you" or Jesus as a swearword on occasion. I dropped the "bless you" with no problem, I still proclaim on occasion, "jesus fucking christ!". The one I miss though, because I have yet to find a good replacement, is "what on god's green earth were you thinking?".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion. -- Superintendent Chalmers Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy 
Is there some reason you can't keep saying it?
I hope everyone realizes when I use religious imagery in an exclamation I am either doing it ironically, sarcastically, or both.
Or sometimes, just to be funny. 
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As a painter of language, I feel no compunction in using whatever words seem apposite to the situation at hand. Especially if I can make the reader google them to find out what they mean.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Yeah it's always fun making people do that. Then on the other hand I really ought to eschew obfuscation more often.
