But there are many, many other ways of expressing anger that don't involve invoking the name of a person/God whom you profess does not exist
You could for instance say Keanu Tapdancing Reeves!
Yea, but that doesn't have the same effect. Just because you believe in Jesus doesn't mean I do. If you don't want to slander him, then don't. I don't say it as a slander to Christians any more than when anyone else does. It's a VERY common explitive. If I shout 'holy shit', do I have to believe in an actual piece of blessed, eternal feces?
