Jesus H. Christ - It's a passive/aggressive way to announce you know him personally. How many middle names, or middle initials, of your close personal friends do you know? If you've "found him" or "have him in your heart" or answer every life issue by first asking "WWJD?"; you should know that person's middle initial, if not his middle name. Besides an inflammatory explanation initiated by say Charles R. Darwin doesn't work. For example; Charles R. Darwin! It's not going to suck itself!" - Doesn't have the same impact. Indicating religion will always have a place in evolution discussions. Consider; "Well that's all well and good, but Jesus H. Christ Charley how do you explain the duck billed platypus!? It's best that Jesus' name was used for this purpose. Not only does it roll off the tongue but, considering what occurred with the cartoons, if Mohammad was used similarly you could be subject to death if it was said in the wrong forum. And for the curious, Mohammad did have more than one name. According to what I've read, after serving a rich merchant widow 15 years his senior, she bestowed upon him the surname of 'Al-Amin', or 'Mohammad the Trustworthy'. Still not as effectual. Is Buddha a first or last name?
