If you don't believe, they are just word's, God's grace is the equivalent of Fod's grace.

OMG can also be oh my goodness.

I think that using these originally religious expressions in everyday nonreligious speech can make those words sound less sacred and more common and will therefore help people realize that religion is no big deal and not something to be revered.

What conceivable purpose would that serve?

Real bible thumpers don't like "OMG"....at ALL.

I think OMG and goddamnit are nonbeliever-appropriate words. See how the christians react to goddamnit. This is a staple of my vocabulary - my father was a career army officer. He constantly used goddamnit and hell (but never any other curse word - at least not in front of his children). And he was a devout Episcopalian. GD is simply an expression - an everyday word in the military.

My favorite is Jesus f***ing christ. I seldom say it unless I want to get a rise out of a fundie.

Oh what's that?
Oh shit!
Oh with lots of things u can say without god word

While I'm sure you can find some very entertaining and creative replacements for such thing I'd suggest spending your time on more worthwhile pursuits. It's just my opinion. This could be for you a very worthwhile pursuit.

Um... No! Why would we? That sounds an awful lot to me like the same mentality that leads to banning books. Censorship is always ugly, no matter who does it.

I have my own vocabulary, as each of us does. All humans cherry-pick the vocabulary that suits us. As long as Jesus fucking Christ and Holy fuck don't go away, I'm fine.

My mother used to say:

God 's in His heaven—
All 's right with the world!

From Robert Browning (http://www.bartleby.com/101/718.html). It sounds lovely, but Browning meant it ironically. For example, she said it quite often in the 60s; the assassinations, Nixon being elected, etc. She told me many years later that what she really wanted to say was, "Well, we are really fucked now." But of course, one doesn't say that in front of the children (until they are adults).

I feel the vernacular has to evolve naturally with the society. Give it a few hundred years.

Good idea, @Srijith. Should we expect it soon?

As long as we leave "God Damn It" alone.

We still use jargon from old times that's now meaningless except for its use. OMG will take its course. There will come a time when you'll tell your children, chuckling, "did you know that it once meant ...?" Plenty of times we can say 'nature's hand,' etc. There's no 'Mother' and the universe doesn't/can't care. Nature takes care of things the same random way it always has.

I think OMG is an appropriate expression as to me I say it when something is unbelievable or extraordinary.

I have mostly removed these expressions from my vocabulary, but I would suggest replacing any divine reference with Darwin. I had tried to replace "god bless you" and "godspeed" with "live long and prosper", but that didn't last. Well reminded though, I have to get back to that.

Not a bad idea. I still use OMG-but maybe I'll start using WTF.

Nah. Everybody already understands the generic meaning of those phrases.

My daughter and I use "Oh my Darwin" - the more you say it, the more it increases my happiness.

I have been known to scream OH MY GOD when something is unbelievable. And more often when something is unbelievably good...............................

I have replaced for years OMG with OMGodless or OMGless
