<p dir="auto">Religious connotations aside, was anybody else irritated by the number of time's this phrase or simply the word<br />
Christ<br />
is used and abused throughout the movie? I'm sure this has been mentioned on the board but I feel like this movie in general had this awkward and forced religious overtone that just leaves me asking "why?" every time I watch it. From the amount of<br />
c-bombs<br />
to the prayer towards the end of the movie, just why? I'd like to state that I'm not anti-religious in any way nor want to frame this as an anti-religious post but just wanted to point this out.</p>

<p dir="auto">Didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Sounds like you just have a personal grudge with the word so you noticed it more than others, and then felt the need to whine about it.<br />
I was raised a Buddhist, am pretty much Agnostic now, but I still say "JC" and "JFC" when I'm shocked, scared, etc. It's just been instilled in me despite it being part of my upbringing.</p>

<p dir="auto">I totally agree, I can remember my whole family and all my parents friends always using it when I was a kid. I believe it was just a common use of cussing back then. I guess even to this day really but I only really hear it now days from people who were teenagers or older in that era.</p>

<p dir="auto">The language used has little to do with religion and more to do with custom. This form of cursing used in the film was the norm for the era.</p>

<p dir="auto">No. It wasn't abused.<br />
You've just noticed that it was used. That's all.<br />

<p dir="auto">Taking the Lord's name in vain isn't a sign of being "pro-religious."<br />
Nor is it necessarily a sign of being anti-religious. As I said, it's just a typical American double standard, where the Name is used reverentially in a religious context, and as profanity in a secular context. People are inconsistent.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, one use was "just cussin'", the other was reverential  mirroring a lot of people's double use of the Name</p>

<p dir="auto">I didn't pay much attention to them taking the Lord's name in vain a lot. I didn't notice. But I thought the prayer scene was very powerful and one of the best moments of the film.</p>

<p dir="auto">The usage of the name seemed perfectly fit to the characters and action - completely non-intrusive and "natural". As natural as in the Spielberg film when Quint tells Brody, "Ya hear that, Chief? We're headin' in!" and Brody says, "Thank Christ!"</p>
