It really doesn't matter what the 'religious say' the verbiage amounts to nothing more than empty platitudes from an empty deity

I hate this one, not so much for the stupidity it entails, but because of the unavoidable follow up questions.

The word "tradition".
In a religious context or not, I dislike it.
Things change... Deal with it.

The muslims saying " peace be upon him " after mentioning " the prophet " . AAGHH!
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

I say "Jesusfuckingchrist" in frustration sometimes. I can't help it really, and picked it up from the Jesus people... I find that truly fucked up. I've known people whom revered the ten commandments, and then 20 minutes later they're "Jesusfuckingchristing" the asshole that cut them off in traffic. I don't give a shit if people go around saying "blasphemous" shit for obvious reasons, but I do a have a problem with blatant hypocrisy.

Pretty sure we all do that. I say 'God knows' a lot. Who cares, they're in the vernacular, nobody takes them literally anyway.
