“Jesus Christ” is said in many places, including church and Bible study.

But one mother in Tennessee said her 7-year-old son was written up in school for saying “Jesus Christ.”

See, it is okay to use Jesus Christ as a curse word or to swear. But if you dare to say Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas OR if you tell the truth about the murderous and perverted practices of the founder of Islam...the media will attack you.

Local Miami Florida media ran this story today. Obviously the media is unaware using Jesus’ name as a curse is offensive to Christians.

It is incredibly impolite to swear like that, given the obvious and reasonable sensibilities of the many devout and good Christians one might be surrounded by.

“F*ckingmohammed” would probably not go over too well in Saudi.

Did you read the story? The kid wasn’t testifying, he cursed when he dropped his Legos. His mom sounds like a real Mensa candidate...“So we was like, ‘OK, so what did he say?”.

Well, the article goes on to indicate:

“The disciplinary notice from Hope Sullivan Elementary School dated Jan. 4 said “He said Jesus Christ when he dropped his LEGOs he was cleaning up from recess.”

Oops

However, the student seems to have used it as a sign of exasperation, not in a respectful way.

And honestly, even when I was practically an atheist, it bothered me that using Our Lord’s name in vain was considered ok when mere 4-letter words were verboten! and looked down on.

What does the boy’s father have to say about this? Funny how these articles with mouthy moms never mention the dad.

Indoctrination centers despise their message being questioned.

Yeah, it’s silly. I wouldn’t want the Lord’s name taken in vain, but a Christian or a heathen.

Agree!……Christ was not honored but used as a swear word.

Jut wait, ‘Mom’ will sue the school and the teacher will be blamed!

It was because of my father that from the ages of seven to fifteen, I thought that my name was Jesus Christ and my brother, Russell, thought that his name was Dammit. “Dammit, will you stop all that noise?” And, “Jesus Christ, sit down!” One day, I’m out playing in the rain, and my father yelled, “Dammit will you get back in here!” I said, “Dad, I’m Jesus Christ!”

“Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master.”
