Religion
I’m surprised it took me over a year to start having a go at religion on here. Oh well.
I felt that a short note was in order to explain any apparent dichotomy between my slagging off religion and my frequent use of phrases like ‘For Christ’s sake” or “Jesus wept” and so on. My use of these phrases should not be taken as an endorsement of the teachings of Jesus or of those institutions set up in his name. Rather, it is the result of having grown up in a Catholic country whose people like to swear profusely.
I too like to swear profusely and exposure to swearing invoking the names of Christian deities in order to get a really good swearing out is ingrained in me more indelibly than the actual ramblings of the Catholic church. Which is funny really.
So, therefore, any mentions of Jesus and god should be read as expletives and blasphemies.
