O...M... G...

Things people say all the time that can be traced back to God/ the bible...

OMG... (I should be slapped for how many times I say this every day).
Oh God no (my bff's favorite.... and she's an atheist. I think she uses it in lieu of “oh fuck no” since that doesn't seem appropriate in certain circumstances, around certain people- you know, the “God like” ones).
I swear to God
Oh dear God
God damn it
God forbid
Oh thank God
God Bless America- Patriotic
That's heaven!
I'm in heaven!
Heavenly!
“Well heaven's yes” (my Great Aunt's favorite response when I asked a stupid question- even as an adult).
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth... the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?? *Question on the above one... what the fuck are you supposed to do when you're being sworn in under oath if you don't believe in God? Green light to lie like a mother fucker?
Holy shit, holy crap, holy moly, holy christ!
Crucify/ crucified
Hell no, hell yeah, go to hell, I'm in hell, that was hell, hellacious, hellish, what the hell?
The devil made me do it, devilish behavior, what a little devil
She is evil- he is evil- they are evil
That person has no soul
soulful
soulless
God have mercy on your soul
Jesus Fucking Christ
Jesus Christ ...
Holier than though
Bless you (sneeze)
I would walk on water for you
Sinfully delicious
He/ she's so good looking it should be a sin
Preach!
You're preaching to the choir!
Hallelujah!
The words to a bunch Madonna songs
The words to a gang of Reggae songs
The words to a couple Boyz 2 Men Songs
**Musical references need to stop here and now**
He/ she should be praised
Christmas present, Christmas vacation, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Merry Christmas, Christmas Holiday (why is it always referred to as “Christmas” vacation in schools? Or have I been out of school for so long that it is now called something else??)
Every biblical name under the sun.... too many to list- but you know at least 10 of you friends have one of these names.
That's the spirit!
We've got spirit, yes we do... We've got spirit, how 'bout you??!! :)

I'm sure there are many many more- (I could Google the shit- but sometimes I'm just too lazy to do that)- SO- if you have more? Please add them below!

P.S. Why am I always torn about whether or not to capitalize the “G” in “God”??? See I just did it again.

P.P.S When I was about 10 years old or so- I would often say what sounded to my parents like “Jesus”... No matter how hard I tried to explain to them that all I was saying was what I assumed to be the plural of “gees”, that shit never seemed to fly. Apparently I was taking the lord's name in vain. Whatever that means...

Xoxo,

  1. I can't believe you didn't include "Oh God," as uttered in the heat of passion often and with enthusiasm by this most devout athiest.

    1. Well that just goes to show how much action I'm getting lately...

  2. Capital G is grammatically correct for a proper name, even for a fictional character but small g reflects my level of respect.

  3. I think the two of you scared all the non-atheists from commenting- or maybe it's against their religion to do so?? Anyhow, thank you for your comments. :)

    1. I’m not a non-atheist and not going to pretend that I am.

    2. A non-atheist but obviously not a fan of the Abrahamic religions. How intriguing.

    1. Awwww. You too, darling. I have a major red wine headache and I want a turkey sandwich- other than that it was fantastic. How was yours??
