Have you ever heard an atheist say "Oh, my God"?

Answer 1

Sure. I do it occassionally.

I have also heard religious people say "Holy S**T!" - but I assume that they don't mean it literally.

A

Answer 2

I have listened to Ricky Gervais on XFM radio and he is well known as an atheist. Very often he admits he's a atheist.

But if I had a dollar for everytime I hear him say 'Oh my god!', 'Jesus Christ!' and 'God Knows!', then I would have $98.75.

So I suppose every atheist does say these expressions in general and also genuinely don't believe in God.

Hope that helps - great question though!

Answer 3

Mostly during sex, but yes. We were raised with these expressions, so sometimes it blurts out. I still say "Gesundheit" when someone sneezes even though I haven't been around people of German descent for at least 20 years. By the way, that's essentially "God Bless You" .....Which in itself has medevial origins. The ancients thought that the soul left the body when someone sneezed, so blessing them would put it back in.

Answer 4

MMMM! looks like somebody is approximately to knock on atheisms quantum front door! Quantum physics is a peculiar and wonderful and amazing place, crammed with theoretical sub atomic debris, with the aid of trojan horse holes, to 'strings', those issues are all theoretical math, no longer strictly technology, as to be technology they could be replicated via test, so as that they could be observed at as quickly as or observed via reaction in the envisioned parameters of the math. consequently, Hadron Collider and all those different wonderous machines like Cern, that could create the situations mandatory to tutor or disprove the theories at the back of quantum maths and so on. this is how technology rather works, somebody comes up with a hypothesis from records, others verify that hypothesis via being waiting to duplicate an identical effects from the hypothesis, then, on account which you have gadgets of effects that tutor a similar effect, an thought comes into being, then people paintings on arising the thought, ading extra to it, and using it to create new hypotheses for examine. the priority with the 'God concept' is it in simple terms would not get off the floor, it would not get handed the hypothetical degree, and is consequently no longer an appropriate concept via definition, there is not any thank you to substantiate the hypothesis, no math, no test, aside from analyzing biblical bills and recording individual suggestions on the hypothesis, as quickly as you have executed this how are you able to verify the techniques, there is not any way, so in the scientific experience the entire component collapses, faith won't be able to be measured. study this to the huge Bang, there is measurable records, the reality is we've not yet shown a number of the mathematical technology, the quantum physics at the back of the huge Bang, this brings us returned to Cern and Hadron, all of us understand from the mathematics what the debris could do, so do the test and be conscious, elementary, the two we get the envisioned effect and consequently hypothesis proved, or we don't, if we don't, what have we've been given, and how did it take place. Oddly, Hubble has been an marvelous device on the subject of the huge Bang because it has shown a great form of what we envisioned to work out below the huge Bang concept so the observable affirmation is in place, we in simple terms could renowned the mechanics of it. As for 1417, no thought. The oblivion component, who knows, we could in simple terms wish all of us have very long journeys in the previous we hit upon out ourselves.

Answer 5

yes, because atheists dismiss all of the gods as a standard phrase, not existent "divine" things. They don't know the existence of neither the God nor the Goddess, so they just randomly say it.

Answer 6

Yup.

And I've heare Christians say "Holy s*it".

So if "Oh, my God" means that athiests believe in God, does that mean that Christians think that s*it is really holy?

They are expressions, and figures of speech, and do not indicate any adherence to deity or holiness.

Answer 7

Guilty

Answer 8

Sure have. It is just an expression these days. It doesn't have anything at all to do with God anymore.

Answer 9

Yes i have. I also know alot of atheist who celebrate Christmas, saying its just an excuse to party and get gifts.......

Answer 10

Nope, I and other atheists I know don't blasphemy reality.

Although, I do slip in a "jeebus H fig-pucking christ!" when I'm around christ-nuts.
