Originally posted by Nicksten It does bother me that the people in movies(actors, for the people who wants to be more clearer) use Jesus Christ name. It makes no sence at all. What does it mean if you say "Jesus Christ, did you see that?" To me it makes no sence. It actually is very childish,would anyone agree?
If you are talking about general profanity then why blame actors and directors? They are merely trying to portray what the general population is doing.
I personally think a bit less profanity would be good in movies though of course it would not be realistic. Somtimes not realistic is better.
Oh and profanity is not intended to mean what the exact words say but rather to shock.

That is what its all about 🙄
I read it before I entered the thread. It offers no information without a coherent question or statement.

Originally posted by lucifershammer Where does Mel Gibson say "Jesus Christ, did you see that?"
Gibson used the myth of Christ to make money. I thought that sort of exploitation is what the poster has issues with (although it is hard to know from his/her posts so far).
I prefer for the movies that I watch to remain realistic - especially concerning character design and development. If I were to view a film in which present-day people speak with a 17th century dialect, unless such theatrics were central to the plot, it wouldn't likely go over too well.
Similarly if I see a character having just been shot in the arm (for example) say, "Gee golly gosh.. and ouch..."
Not likely to work for me.
My suggestion is to stick with 'G' ratings and made-for-TV TBN movies. Leave the heavier stuff to us heathens.

I think the poster's objection is the good ol' Third Commandment (Second Commandment if you're Catholic).

I knew a guy that talked like that. One person of all those I've known said "sugar" after smashing his thumb with a rock while pounding in a tent peg. That was 31 years ago.

No. To a great many of us, the words "Jesus Christ" have little more meaning in that context than do "Wow!" or "$h!t!"
