Im curious if Danny N. or anyone else who has said that using the nickname Jesus is in bad taste, offensive, etc. have ever used the phrase "Holy Cow."

That phrase originated as a way to mock Buddhists(or hindus, can't remember which), because of their belief that Cows are sacred creatures. I would almost say that using "holy cow" is worse that calling Chris "Jesus" as that is a benign nickname that is used soley due to his resemblence to the popular depiction of Jesus, whereas "holy cow" has a malicious history behind it.
