Why do Atheists...

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Why do Atheists say, "Oh my God", and stuff like that? Isn't that hypocritical?

 

[Prime Rib]

all atheist are hyprocrites if they don't admit it then there just liers

 

[SilverSlick]

They pick up mannerisms from other people, its only natural.

 

[Hashirama Senjuu]

No? My dog is my god so yeah.

 

[Mgumbo]

Well wouldn't a Christian saying "Oh my God" count as improper usage of the Lord's name? =P

Whether or not any given person believes that, I feel like it's just become a very common saying in society. But who knows for sure!

Just my thoughts. =]

Absolutely this ^
I agree

 

[xxSalamanderxx]

Lol,
I believe its popular culture influencing them..
Being an atheist does not mean that they have a bubble around them from their surroundings..

 

[Trippy Sage of all Dank]

"oh my god" has become a well-known phrase. (foreign people like, chinese and japanese use that term out of humour) people use the term un-religiously, but people say a bunch of crazy stuff these days. it's normal in my opinion. we are capable of using our mouths for a reason, no? i say its just harmless emotional-expression.

It's better just not to start these topics. Escalation will come, and it will not be friendly.

It's just a turn of speech, it doesn't matter that much.

Why should we care? XD.

<div class="bbWrapper">It is a modern Idiom devoid of meaning, the same way Atheists celebrate christmas without belief, it's apart of our culture.</div>

 

[Ciao]

This thread is bound to stop atheists and their hypocritical ways! *Shakes Bible in the air*

 

[SasoriOfTheRedSaand]

Haha, it's just something you pick up, when heard a lot. I say that phrase a lot, and people just say it when they're frustrated or something. They don't mean it literally, but I guess they should refrain from saying it.

For the most part, yes. That's why I personally say, "Oh my gosh". It's not irreverent and it's a viable option as opposed to, "Oh my God".

 

[Supreme x Uchiha]

Human Nature.

 

[King-Panda]

yeaah they are so annoying
and so close minded and ignorant it kills me

 

[Moss]

If you're going to be hypocritical, than Christians or Muslims saying "Oh my god" is blasphemy.

Actually it is wrong for anyone to say gods name in vain but if you say oh my God as though your calling out for him then its not in vain because your not just saying it to say it
That's how a lot of Christians use the word so it would be completely backwards and disrespectful if an atheist said it

 

[FireBird Marco]

I guess by god they refer to the nature or themselves... maybe lol
