Is it OK for us to say OMG?

I think it is, given that it means something unbelievable...

It is an exclamation of astonishment. "Oh My God" is more a cultural colloquial euphemism, than it is exclaiming a belief in a deity.

Also, saying "Oh My God) is usign the lords name in vane, which is definitely breaking with religious doctrine... which is perfectly alright for atheists to do.

@RichieO Let's hope so.

@RichieO I have to admit that I have had to look up a lot of Acronyms to figure out what they meant. Google and Wikipedia are very useful.

Ilove that OMG/GMO story... I gave me a good laugh

OMG, yes it's okay! It's just an expression and most users don't associate it with praying to a deity. In due time that association will be forgotten altogether.

That said, the great thing about being us is that we can say whatever we want to. 🙂
