Also he told me he once heard a preacher was in Vietnam and talking to a bunch of atheists. They said they didn't believe in God, yet later all came crying claiming they wanted to accept Jesus into their heart. My mom says everyone at one point gets a chance to be introduced to Christ.The first part of what you said has to do with our culture. "Oh my God" is a common saying in our culture, and it's hard to break the habit of saying it. Sometimes we do say something like "Oh my Gaia" instead, though.
The next part of what you said is a second-hand story at best. Have you ever played telephone? When a story is passed on it is always distorted in some way, which happened at least twice in your example. Take into account people's general tendencies to not be truthful, exaggerate, etc., and the story just doesn't hold any weight.
Of course everyone gets a chance to get introduced to Christ in this country, Christians are the majority and they pursue total indoctrination relentlessly. However, some people like me are going to reject religion no matter how many times they are given the chance to embrace it.
