At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
IANMTU:
I am a co-discoverer of an otherwise unremarkable cold, austere, dead, useless, and grim block of primordial debris in the distant Kuiper Belt. I'm not sure if it will ever get a name beyond it's preliminary designation. If anyone ever asks me for a naming suggestion I'll probably say something like Tarquin. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
I always tell people "God bless" when they sneeze. I do it ironically but most people don't catch it and probably think I'm a jesus freak.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
Sometimes after somebody near me lets lose with a big sneeze I'll point at the floor in front of them and shout, "Pick that up!".

‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
Hmmm. I still use "my god" or "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ." In a less blasphemous tone, I often use "good heavens." On the raunchier side I guess I will say "holy shit" a lot.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
Carlin had one of my favourites - 'Holy jumping fucking shitballs.'

The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
People can get snarky when I say "Oh my god!"
I just explain that something unbelievable must have happened.
