Oh my god.
May 7, 2019 at 4:22 pm
As an atheist, do you feel comfortable using that popular expression of surprise?
I try to replace god with dog but I still find myself slipping up. The accidental cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
On a relevant note, I have previously offended someone religious when I put extra effort to avoid the mention of god. Lol.
BQ: Are you put off by people who apply religious words into everyday speech? ("oh my god" "thank god.." "jesus christ!" etc)

It doesn't bother me either way, it's like saying "Jesus H. Christ" or "Holy shit".

I say all the god sayings with no feelings about it whatsoever. It doesn't matter.

I say “oh my god” all the time lol
I also say “thank god” when something good happens.
And “I hope to god” when I want something to happen
And “I pray that doesn’t happen”
I say all kinds of stuff. It’s just an expression. Doesn’t bother me at all.

I say, 'Oh, my god', don't even think about it. I suppose I could change it to, 'By the great, globular, greasy gonads of God!', but who has the time?
