Do you still say "Oh my God"?

Save a life. Adopt a greyhound.
I say "bless me" when I sneeze.
Is that strange? (December 17, 2012 at 12:20 pm)Great Ape Wrote: I say "bless me" when I sneeze. Only if nobody else is around and you also say thank you.
I still say it, because I don't see it as anything other than expressions. They're used to convey a message; nothing more.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
Yes I say them,and they are just for expression.
Besides I thought the religious considered it a sin or against there religion to take there gods name in vain. RE: Do you still say "Oh my God"?

I find myself often saying "for gods sake", "JESUS!", "Jesus fucking Christ" when frustrated or exasperated, and have even uttered the odd "thank god for that" when I've been really relieved about something, they're just words that come out...but since I've started speaking about atheism on the internet, I do find myself consciously trying to stop myself uttering these words that are meaningless in the context that I use them, but abhorrant otherwise.

German and Dutch are almost mutually intelligible though aren't they? I've never studied Dutch in my life but I must say that as an English speaker if I read a paragraph or two in Dutch, I can sort of understand bits of what is being said. Though if I hear Dutch, I have utterly no idea.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
I never acquired the habit of saying "Oh my God" in the first place, so no. I hate that expression so much mostly because growing up I heard it said like a 1000 times on every single episode of every TLC home remolding reality show. So I was determined never to say it.

They're all cultural phrases like, "Holy shit!" No harm in it. That being said, I usually opt for "goodness" because I'm lame.
EDIT: Also the occasional "Sweet Sagan". (December 17, 2012 at 6:00 pm)Norfolk And Chance Wrote: German and Dutch are almost mutually intelligible though aren't they? Although dutch people dont like to be reminded of that. They use to be a part of Germany and Dutch is pritty much a German accent. |
