Just a thought....
I was just thinking: when some people curse and swear, they will say "Jesus Christ!". But why "Jesus Christ" or "Jesus" or "Christ"? Why not "Buddha!" or "Mohammed!" or "Shiva!" ?
Is it syllables? Well..."Buddha" has two, "Mohammed" has three and "Shiva" has two. "Jesus Christ" has four. If I wanted something easier to say, I would go for "Buddha" or "Shiva".
Just something I thought about and maybe something for you guys to think about...
As always, feel free to comment.

No to sound racist but, which race is the one always using it?
Once you think of it, what's the common/only religion they know?
even so, in those places have all the other religions i mentioned as well. so, i am sure they won't be blur about those names as well, rite?
from internet and technology, i am sure they would not be so blur. =)
Yes they know about it, but Buddhism and Hinduism are not as common as in Asian countries.
It's like a Malaysian screaming, "ya Allah!!!" cause that word is common here.
lol. notice also the only Malays say "Ya Allah" but that is not a swear word to them. hehe.
but yeah...true...they know less of it but doesn't mean they are ignorant of it. :P
but then again, even in Malaysia, you don't hear people say "Buddha!" but sometimes say "Jesus Christ" as well. so...influence from Western movies are stronger than local cultural influence?
Buddha is sacred :P
hahahaha... you getting funny over there i see...
