I remember hearing or reading that in Western culture, using God or Jesus in profanity was a kind of "power trip". Somehow, using those names made it different than other types of profanity. Could it be that because those names are traditionally reverenced in our culture, using them in a profane manner unconsciously makes us feel "empowered"? I use the phrase "Jesus Christ on a pogo stick." But that's mostly because it bothers my fundie relatives.

Or just "Jesus fuck." That's my most common one.

I like to use "Jesus ass-fucking Christ".
...Yes, that is all I have to say.

Ever drop a "Madre de Dios!"? Or "Jesus, Maria, Jose"? Thanks for not slamming me for this thread thus far. What, those two fuck-laden sentences I aimed at you didn't count?

I'm quite creative when I cuss and curse, I'll also yell out epithets like "Thor's toes", "Bhudda's balls", I once called someone a "booger of an Arkleseizure." Of course that doesn't restrict me from ragging on Yahweh and Jesus as well. I'll even use the names of beings I disbelieve in as a form of compliment, my favourite is "May Yog-Sothoth bless your furry little feet!" My dad was known to say "Jesus balls!" on occasion. ;D

I'm fairly blue, and will often use "Goddamn motherfucking..."
Know why I do so even though I am an atheist? Because it is part of the vernacular. See, Xtians like to believe that they have the market cornered on blasphemy, but it no longer means what you want it to mean.

Ever drop a "Madre de Dios!"? Nope. That's more of a Mexican thing, I think. Or somewhere else, but in any case not common in my particular flavour of Spanish. Same goes for "Jesús, María y José". That one feels terribly awkward, for some reason.

You're not Mexican?

But everyone in the Americas who speaks Spanish natively is Mexican!
I'm honestly not familiar with what phrases are used where.
