Goddamn you to Hell

Christian, as descriptive of moral behavior

I don't avoid religious speak. Its nothing more than colloquial vernacular with nothing reverental involved. I will say, " my hand to Jesus/heaven/god" but I also say things like "Jesus fuck" "jumping jesus on a pgo stick", etc.

I use Jesus Christ, but you have to say it like this:

I use “god damn it” and “god fucking damn it” quite often. I also use “aww hell” and “hell yeah” a lot.

Especially when I'm on the golf course.........

Well, one thing is what I say and another thing what I meant. I use some of (those) out of habit but they don't mean much...... I don't say bless at all but I do use the occasional go to hell...hell yeah !!!

God damnt to fucking holy hell no, never.

i would use all and still no the god myth is just that anyone trying to tie me into some sort of belief would lose that argument

I use thoughts and prayers to rile people up. Does that count?

It's hard nto to use them. They are a part of everyday vernacular and generally understood. I avoid it when i can, but it is so embedded into our language it is unavoidable to not use them completely.

I worked Construction in NYC for 25 years and can never remember hearing one. We cursed forever and frequently but never was the word ingrained into the sentiment.

Jesus Fucking Christ is a favorite.
As is holy shit.

I say a lot of religious phrases despite not believing.

"Oh god" "for God's sake" "Jesus christ"

But I've always said gesundheit instead of bless you

The thing is they are just words to us and have no meaning except as invective., just a way of letting off steam. We are not committing blasphemy as we are not believers....so keep right on!

Why does it matter? We have Thursday Thor's Day.

I use Holy Shit a lot.

Seriously, words are words. When/if I do say them, it's out of habit.

I do use "thank the Gods" just to piss of Christians since they insist there is only one true God.

Sometimes I say bless you when a person sneezes. I might say omg or God dammit when I read some bad news.

I use religous language in cussing - god damnit etc. I also find myself doing a lightweight “holy Toledo” or “damnation”. My maternal grandfather had a rather ... large vocabulary and I picked up much of it from him.

I also use “amen” as a confirmation. I do try to replace those sayings with others, but it has been in grained in me since I was a child. It’s a habit, not religious.

My ex wife used to say "Oh my god oh my god oh my god" as she orgasmed, I thought she meant me.

I use them all as I choose.

Religion is no more owned by a theist than by an atheist. It is a part of our history and unfortunately present as well. It's just a bunch of made up stories and it's not my problem if some people don't know better than to believe them.

I've been known to toss in a bible reference from time to time. Ugh. It's a Southern thing I guess.

I use:
"Jesus Christ," as an expression of frustration or surprise
"God damn it"
"Oh my God" or "Holy shit," as an expression of surprise

Is "Dammit" actually a religious term? It doesn't seem like it has any religious connotation to it.

My dad cussed whenever he worked on a car. As I had kids, i realised I was apt to do the same thing so I created my own curse word to call cantankerous pieces of machines. Ubiquitous Whore. I found saying that at inanimate objects helped keep me from using any reference to god.

Gawd no! OK, sometimes, but with a lowercase g.
