I’ve found that Jesus name is used routinely now as a cuss word, even by people who regularly attend church!

It's easy enough to break people of that. Just say "He's not going to help you in THAT tone of voice."

I think I'll give your suggestion a try. I had a friend who used to respond to the outburst of Jesus' name being used that way by following up with "Who was crucified for our sins." The stunned and embarrassed looks on the "offenders" faces was often priceless. A lot of people didn't even realize they had said it, because it had become just another reflexive response.

I can't wait to see the reaction when I try your suggestion.
