I just wanted to disagree with the part I bolded. Many Christians believe that saying any of the above ("Oh my God, Jesus Christ, etc.) in the context of a moment of shock, as you describe, is considered "taking the Lord's name in vain" and sinful. Unless I am misunderstanding your moment of shock context.

Well, nevertheless, its still commonly exclaimed by Christians, and we're not supposed to imitate the kuffar anyway, especially in matters of religion.
