Just thinking out loud agian. LOL.

How many have stubbed their toe only to curse God? What about when something went wrong and you said "Jesus Christ"?

Why do people do this? I hear this often from those who experience the dark side of life...even from christians?????

Just thinking out loud again.

I still say g-dd--nit sometimes, but that's not really cursing god. I say it only because I like the way it sounds when I'm mad - something to do with the hard sound of the d's, I think. Actually, I usually say "god f-ing d--nit," 'cause that has all kinds of fun sounds in it.

Other than that, I usually make the conscious effort to not curse gods, since I don't believe that there are any. I curse the thing or person I'm mad at.

Hmmm... interesting.

I remember a long time ago, while visiting a strangers house, that this person was cursing God up and down, and I didn't say anything, but his wife made mention that I was christian, then her husband quickly apologized to me and stopped his cursing. His wife knew me because she knew I was a christian. I thought this was interesting.

I NEVER say "g-d," "g.d." or "Jc" as curses.
I DO sometimes say "Harry is a big loser".
Also (with different vowel sounds.)
creep
sheet
beach (but not with "sonnuva")
And the big one:
Freak

This morning I was helping out with a children's aikido class, and something I didn't like happened, and I almost let out an explitive, but I was surrounded by miniature people, so I choked it off and said, "I almost said a wordy dird."
The next time something happened that I didn't like, I let loose with "shoes!"
Then I commented that that's a safe wordy dird when in the company of chillin.
I always resist the temptation to curse with anything stronger than "shoes" or "poop" (sic) in mixed company (that is, adult men and women).

I allegedly said:

I hooted and howled when I read this, and I thank the moderator who put these words in my mouth for the lightening of my mental load.
And I offer my apologies to Harry for giving the mod the opportunity to diss Harry in my name - even though I did enjoy it.
And, as it happens, I don't remember what I actually did confess to writing.

I am afraid I say them all - invoking The Almighty and His son, G-dmn-it, etc. Strange for an Atheist, but then again I also say the f word - and when you think about it's meaning, that is pretty strange, too...

I just saw: "I hooted and howled when I read this, and I thank the moderator who put these words in my mouth for the lightening of my mental load."

Glad to oblige.

In regards to this thread: I have cursed God to his 'face,' and meant it.

What does this mean, exactly?

TheAtheistHeratic · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2006, 06:22:58 PM »

I find that funny sntjohnny, but I find most christians funny.

Zagzagel · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2006, 07:01:53 PM »

Strange. I agree with sntj on this one. This is probably not as strange as the other explanations?

I too used this cursed language at times in full knowledge why I was doing it.

Umm, it's an exclamation of distress, so how would you feel happy? It'd be like asking if you feel happy when you say "Ouch!" Obviously not.

Not totally true Rag boy...at least not from testimony.

That wasn't Gg, ragnar. I guess if I was to curse god it would be for fun. So go figure.

Out of pure habit I say "God!" "Jesus Christ!" etc. I used to do that as a Christian (which, I recognize, was not very respectful to the deity I worshipped... ^_^'), so I still do it now. I'd stop myself, 'cept I don't particularly care. It could be worse--I could be shouting "FUDGE!" like my step-dad ("Except it doesn't come out as 'fudge...'"

).
