Does the pope shit in the woods?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I just choose whatever expletive fits the situation. Most of my go-to phrases are sexual, for some unknown reason.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Feel free to expand the topic! My favorite non religious based expletives are

Bugger me sideways with a fish fork

And

You jam-spangled old fuck-pig.

I've heard it said that in English, 50% of all quotes are from the Bible, 30% from Shakespeare, and the rest by everyone else.

Fixed for accuracy.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Well yeah languages are full of names of gods and thing related to gods. Take names of the week:

Tuesday - Tīw's Day (god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology)
Thursday - day of Woden (Odin)
Thursday - Thor's day
Friday - day of Frige (old English godess of love)
Saturday - Saturn's day
Sunday - Sun's day
Monday - Moon's day

Even in French Tuesday is "mardi" (Marsday), Wednesday is "mercredi" (Mercuiy-day), Thursday is "jeudi" (Jove-day), and Friday is "vendredi" (Venus-day).

Do I even have to mention name of the months?

January - named for two faced roman god Janus. One face looks to old year, other to upcoming year.
February - named for old roman ritual of purification
March - Mars!
April - Aphrodite

and so on and on....
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The great pity is that we missed an opportunity to have a planet called 'George'.
