I’m a forever fan of Teachers

“For Christ’s sake! I am an atheist!”

I would have used the f-word in between jeezus and kreist, but that's just me.

I'm surprised teachers stay at their jobs at all, with the low pay and lack of respect for their work.

I usually say Ye sue kristo, and most Chrisians wouldnt know what i was talking about

Just a few responses:

I say "gesundheit' to a sneeze because, if I recall correctly, it translates to "good health" rather than any kind of blessing (Germans got it right).

I read the Way of Kings and in the book Storms are almost deific in their power. Thus, "storm off!" is a strong curse. I do a lot of storming about as my way to curse (when I think about it and am teaching).

What is Jesus' middle Name? I don't know but it starts with "H"

Interesting. So if you said "fuck" instead, would she think you were actively having sex?

Sorry, that made me giggle

Try "Son of a Bitch" instead...i find it a superior pain reliever by far!

I taught preschool years ago. Out of college worked at day care center and years later when I had a baby at 42 and I wanted to be close to her. Preschool teachers know how to swear - lol.

Well technically you're not supposed to "take the lord's name in vain" so.... No Christian should say it.... Seems like it would only be an atheist saying.... God, were he real, would see it as blasphemy.... Its a curse word. It can mean different things to different people but I was always baffled by Christians using the phrase when they were angry or in pain. They never were much for logic! My mom tries to say some bullshit about how when you say it, it's a prayer... K. No. But I guess we all have to sleep at night

It's very much the same for Middle and High School teachers.

I too revel in using the "lord's" name in vain!!

That's a brilliant pre-school sub-culture underbelly developing there

Ha!

Well, how else are you supposed to express that something's unbelievable?

And how do you know he wasn't the carpenter who built the thing???

Lol I've shouted oh Jesus I'm coming but that's another story.

so busted

Please keep in mind as yall read this that my coworker and I are always messing with each other about religion. Shes a Christian (baptist, I think) and Im an antitheist, but we have good natured debates and jokes between us about it. She accepts that I will never convert back to Christianity, and I accept that she will never leave it, so we joke about it.

Classic ?

I blame everything on Jesus. My Atheism only says I don't think Jesus was magical, not that he didn't exist.

Saying Jesus Christ while your in pain is saying the lords name in vain and is a sin to most Christians. It's a turn of phrase I'm sure you could think of other things that you say that you don't nessesaerily believe in. How you know many people have still minds. They can't fathom how words change even when people use them in a totally different context, which is what really matters at the end of the day.
