of course. quite a few of the exclamations we use every day contain religious references. i've also been known to use the term "son of a bitch" when referring to people whose parentage i know nothing about and i sometimes call particularly offensive people assholes even though they only vaguely resemble that particular part of the anatomy. such exclamations are not meant to provide information, but to provide emphasis.

i also eat french fries and i am under no circumstances deluded enough to believe that either the potatoes or the lard they are cooked in have anything to do with france.
