	Many non-Jewish people also use Jesus-Christ as an expletive,...
	Why did you phrase your question in such a prejudiced manner?

Sorry, the name of the "you" who supposedly "phrase your question..." just
passed over my screen and I can't get it back without exiting followup.

Allen England, unless he is Jew, in which case he is hurt personally, is
developing a sense of guilt :-) & :-(  . The reason "you" (whoever he is)
asked about Jews only is - I suppose - because Jew don't believe in J-C,
and unlike atheists & co., they grow up in an environment when people are
not suppose to belive in JC. An atheist grows up with Christians, or at least
with people who have grown up w/ Christians; and thus is "eligible" for
Christian habit. "You" 's question is: Jews don't grow up w/ Christians.
Why do they do so ?

I want to add my own question: Why do Christians do that ? In fact, why
do people call the name of their deity whenever in distress. I think it's
supposed to be the other way around: call the name of their deity AFTER
they passed the disaster.
