What in God's name are you...

Hi

Is the blue sentence natural English?

(To a child who is sweating a lot)

What in God's name are you sweating about? =Why are you sweating so much?

Thanks,

Tom

No, it is totally an inappropriate context. It is not good for a child, but an adult's behavior . And it is not for something like sweating, which is a function of the autonomic nervous system.
