I have a problem with Blasthemy as an athiest

Hi,
I have a problem relating to guilt which I need some sort of antitode to
ever since I came out near my moms clit I have been taught that blastheming is wrong, so now, if i say "Oh my god!", or something related to the name in vain, I feel guilty, even when I don't believe that is a bad thing to do anymore, how can I remedy this?
Oh also, inb4 a christian comment saying its my holy spirit and I was designed that way, fuck off...
Thanks

Well, OK, I guess "near" it works.
But yeah, wow. This intro thread is just taking off!

Its still blasthemy, just like "treat thy neighbour as you would like to be treated", is still the golden rule

You need to retrain your mind. You already know logically that there is nothing wrong with blasphemy. Maybe blaspheming over and over will do the trick. Try saying, "Fuck the lord!" 100 times and see if that does the trick.
And you came from your mom's uterus, not her clitoris.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Actually I have a friend who has said he doesn't like the "Golden Rule". He likes the intent of it but thinks it should be
"Do not do to others what you would not want done to you".
Not "Do onto others as you would want done to you".
Actually I think it is nether and both, because life is case by case and messy and imperfect and even both of these are subject to point of view.
I think all humans evolved with a sense of empathy and at the same time a sense of wanting to protect themselves. I find cliches a horrible way to guide ones life.
RationalPoet lots of kind phrases in human history sound good, but again, are subjective and based on point of view, so even kind intent for me at best gets a "It depends".

Interesting spin on things, I think that the bible has some principles right on how to life live, but just executes them in the worst way imaginable...
