Why, of all the curse words available, do people choose to use "Jesus Christ" as a curse??? I have always been amazed that no one ever says, "Satan", or "mother of Satan" or "I'll be Satan damned", etc. I really do know the reason, but can't understand why those of you that do it can't realize how offensive it is to others when you take the Lord's name in vain. Then again, maybe you just don't care.

I don't think it is meant to be a curse at all. If you inserted a curse word in the sentence I wrote, it would not make sense at all. I think it is more of a "God only knows" type of gesture, like asking out loud "What are people thinking". In fact, it would imply that Jesus knows the answer, which would be a recognition of him as the supreme being.
