Do you still say "Oh my God"?

[TarShoduze]

Hi, everybody.
I was just wondering (... I wonder a lot), do you say phrases like "Oh my God," "God damn it", or any other expressions that contain any religious word? If not, then what do you say instead?
Hehe, have a nice day, everybody

BTW, I just finished a full-blown debate with my former friend. As I don't care if he hated me being Atheist, I debated with him non-stop. It was intense. He blurted out lots of things, some were "The Miracle of the Sun" and the incorruptible saints. I pointed out that the Bible was made by humans, and that humans have creative minds. He sarcastically said,

their imagination was SO CREATIVE that the predictions in the bibleare happening already in sequence.

and saying out that the predictions for Jesus' birth was fulfilled as predicted. I then said,

But how did YOU know that THAT really happened? 'Coz the Bible said it?

and that he does not believe in St. Claus, but believes on someone born by a virgin mother! I added,

Now, don't tell me that you believe in unicorns who are rainbow-colored, sparkling, and farting confetti! Or maybe you DO believe in unicorns, as you did not find it difficult to believe in the latter story?

You know what he said?

oh give it a rest for a while. we can debate later, i'm watching my favorite show right now.

I was about to say, "A WINNER IS ME", but I didn't

The moral of the story is:
Debating is fun, but TOTALLY useless and pointless.

Hehe, just thought I'd share

Not so long ago an old woman fell of this escalator right in front of my eyes and I instantly yelled 'OH MY GOD' (oh mijn god) because for a moment I thought she died... So yes...every now and then I quess.





Black and blue, but alive..scary shit.

"Holey crap, batman!"
Shit!!!
Fuck!!!
Far out, dude!!
Oh boy!

Not being a native english speaker, I'm forgiven the use of out of fashion expressions. :p

Hehe, that was unexpected I still say it because I'm used to it, but would like to get it out of my system

Didn't lightning strike you when you said that? LOL, just joking, no offense intended

Oh mein Gott!


Is hardly used anymore here.
People seem to use more simple phrases or just one single word to express suprise.

Alter! Ach du Scheisse! Was zum ...!

But it`s not that I limit my language due to my atheism or due to other political and social affiliations................... that would be stupid.

Yes, I do say, "Oh my god." What of it? It's a vernacular expression of dismay or surprise, just like "bless you" when someone sneezes. Doesn't imply a belief in god, in my opinion.

[Faith No More]

"Oh my god, Holy fuck!, Jesus H. Christ!, god, goddamn, godamnit..."

And every once in awhile, "Slippery Jesus Nipple!"

or Jesus Titty Fucking Christ!

People at foreign airports in the UK, Poland or elsewhere give me a very funny look when I drop something or screw some other little thing up and then scream:


"NEIN!"


I cant explain it, but it gives me a little bit satisfaction to speak a language which so many people perceive to be scary.

German is awesome sounding.

Spanish scares me more.
