Do Atheists say "Oh My God"?

Question

Its like natural for me to say "Oh My God" if something bad happened. Do they like control themselves not to say that or do they just not say it?

Answer 1

I say "oh the god of my god's god"

and everybody laughs at it, be they believers or not

Answer 2

I say "Oh my lack of god" lol

The way I see it, anyone can say "oh my god" because no one can copyright what god is. For some it's the divine creator, for others it is the sun or the earth or even something like music. God is whatever a person wants it and needs it to be, anything a person holds of value and respects.

Answer 3

it really is what Mr. O'Gasm, Zandanjos and WIL call out...I see no clarification why you mustn't as well. heavily inspite of the actuality that. snickers I nevertheless call out "oh my gawd" interior the sack. Makes adult males experience more advantageous once you do this and they recognize deep down you somewhat pray to a Goddess. Dave's chest swells with delight when I do. not a lot when I call out bill inspite of the actuality that...I ought to do something about that, huh?

Answer 4

I'm sure it slips out once in a while, people use sayings that no longer have meaning in our society all the time, or at least have forgotten their meaning, Like when people say "Scot Free" which originated when a black slave in the eighteen hundreds try to gain his freedom legally, he lost the case but was later granted freedom from his family.

Answer 5

I don't say it, don't know what atheist say. I get a little ticked when people say my name and they don't really want anything. I imagine God does too, even though that is a title not His real name.

I like a billboard that I saw the other day. It said:

"If you want to curse use your own name. --God "

Answer 6

Yup. I'm an atheist, and there's nary a swear word referencing Jesus, God, or any other religious/non-religious figure I don't use. Why limit yourself just because something's not real? Hell, I even say Bless you when someone sneezes, out of habit.

Answer 7

yes, just like christians say Mother Nature

Answer 8

I do. It's just a figure a speech. Bonus points for saying God's name in vain :D

Answer 9

I say it, and most of my atheist friends say it... its a colloquialism, it doesn't mean we believe there's a god.

Alot of times just to be funny i'll say "Oh your god!" instead.

Answer 10

They could be referring to another god, such as Zeus or Jupiter or Isis and not the Christian God.
