taking the lord's name in vain

February 5, 2016 at 1:44 pm

Now this one might be fun. Swearing! I've been known to say that, as an atheist, I need new swear words. "God damn it!" and "Jesus Freaking Christ on a Cracker!" seems to indicate to my religious friends that I still believe and that I'm just a reprobate. Tongue

But I just read a great response from mh.brewer that basically said that swearing did not indicate any deep-seated belief in a deity. Inspiring! Let's open that one up to debate!

Do you feel odd using "god-terms" when you swear?
And / or . . . what are your most favorite profanities?
My vocabulary needs some improvement! Big Grin
