No seeing as it's simply an expression.

But umm. Have you any idea how silly YOU sound?

So if I were to say "It's raining cats and dogs out there" you'd be hacked off because I lied to you? It's just an expression :rolleyes:


I was thinking of a good analogy, and you've provided a better one.

and we should care why?

You Christians can't dictate what we can and cannot say lol
I don't say "Oh my god", I say "Oh my buggering Buddha". The alliteration makes me sound cool.

Do you have any idea how silly you sound?! I bet you don't really believe that a website would take the testicles of a donkey in its mouth, therefore you can't say that!!! :woo:

It's an expression OP. Calm down.
I agree that it would sound MUCH sillier if a deeply religious person cried out 'Oh my God!'

Plus if I'm atheist, why the hell would I care about saying God's name in vain??

its not as bad as people who say **** when infact they are not fornicating under command of the king.

Intervention: the origin of the F-word is not a four-letter acronym meaning that or anything similar; that's just an urban myth that is ridiculous... it comes from the same root as Middle-Dutch fokken ("to thrust") for example.

Getting back on-topic, others have already expressed my opinions on this matter.
Well not really because apparently you're not meant to use the Lord's name in vain but we do it because we believe there is no Lord and so there will be no repercussions.

This reminds me of my brother, who recently decided to use a new acronym in place of "omg" - "omabs". Which stands for, of course, Oh My Agnostic Belief System :P:

I think the christian who says it sounds sillier.

But that's just me.


Very true. At least when an atheist says it, they don't think they are using a real name in vain.

Whereas I desperately try to avoid saying phrases similar to this, as you wouldn't use a friend's name in the same way, would you?
