shf84	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 10:42PM I've came up with more blasphemous substitutes like "** christ" or "jesus *********" Rated: +4Vote for this!
alicia87	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 8:28PM All of the atheists I know say "oh my God" or even "oh your God." I agree with mzdivine in that there is nothing religious in that statement since it has become synonymous with "oh my goodness." I think "Thank God" is a little different though. Who exactly are you talking to when you say that?? I've always wondered, but always been afraid to ask. Rated: +3Vote for this!

UnidentifiedHobo	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 8:39PM Surely MORE atheists than Christians use those terms as it is written in the Christians' scripture that the Christians mustn't use those words like that: "thou shalt not take His name in vain" or something like that. My favourite is "Christ on a bike!" meaning "I am surprised" Rated: +1Vote for this!

maydaybandit	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 8:41PM Sure. I was always lead to believe that it was blasphemous to use such phrases in general conversation. Rated: +1Vote for this!

StWayne	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 8:44PM Yes, they do. And I am one of them. I recently wrote a book (just recently picked up for publication by a traditional book publisher) about new and revolutionary discoveries in the Bible that is poised to turn the world of religion as we know it on its ear. Yet, even despite all I know about religion and it's ancient inception from the realm of the mythological, I still do it. Not because I believe in it, but because they are euphemisms. But in case you wondered: yes! There are indeed, atheists in foxholes. Rated: +1Vote for this!

MsTiti	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 11:23PM I used to, but lately I find myself saying "Oh my gatos!", a phrase I picked up while tutoring Spanish-speaking adults, many of whom were religious and easily offended by OMG. It doesn't offend anyone. Everyone believes in gatos. Rated: +1Vote for this!
interesteddeb	Posted Jul 3rd, 2009 at 2:30AM I'd guess that they do because it is more a cultural condition than religion. Rated: +1Vote for this!
EndlessMeghan	Posted Jul 3rd, 2009 at 2:53PM Oh my god. Jesus god. Jesus ******* christ. just jesus or christ. Thank the gods. -Endless I'm going to hell anyway, I might as well use the name in vain as many times as possible. Rated: +1Vote for this!
