Oh my fucking god, usually works for me.

Most of these phrases are just habit phrases. And like any other habit needs another habit to replace it and work. I find myself saying lots of things that are not of my actual mindset but just habit or a mimic of something I have heard way too much. I think this is why some people enforce the issue of controlling your environment and choosing friends wisely. It takes more work to control yourself constantly

I've heard over and over again that there are no atheists in fox holes. The reason for this is that during a heavy bombardment the soldiers might utter "dear God or oh my God" but they also say "oh sh@t and fk me". The "oh sh@t" might be literal but the "fk me" is not meant as an open invitation. It's nothing more than a figure of speech or the utterance of an old cliché i.e., meaningless. I use these phrases all the time and I don't find it to be hypocritical because to me being a non-theist doesn't carry any more importance than not liking beets. And I gotta tell you - I spent the same amount of energy coming to the conclusion that "God" isn't real as I did coming to the conclusion that beets suck. I tried both - in many different ways - each left a bad taste in my mouth, which made me say "I ain't doing that no more". Haven't thought much about either since and so to repeat common clichés carries no weight because what they were fashioned from carries no weight.

Yep, all the time.

Everyday naw, but blasphemy might be daily fun

As a recovering Catholic, it's a hard habit to break. But I spell with small g.

It is funny how certain terms do still fall out of my mouth. As much as I wish it didn’t happen, I don’t beat myself up. I try being mindful of it and adjust as I can. For example, my dogs sneeze a lot, as they can do. I say dog bless you very tongue in cheek but I definitely appreciate your post. I’m not as militant or angry about religion but I definitely am aware of all the various ways is is enmeshed in much of our culture. I’m perfectly fine telling others I think religion is evil and rooted in all conflict and I care less if they are offended. They don’t pay my way, the churches don’t pay taxes but they influence policy. I have that as my standard comeback. It usually shuts them down. If not, I walk away. I’m not on earth to argue with anyone.

I do it all of the time. I haven’t even cut back. Seems like I find it very fulfilling whether it irritates people or not. The writer/creative type within me enjoys embracing colorful language from time to time. I don’t normally swear either but in the last two years I’ve begun to swear like a sailor at certain times.

For a while, if I were writing it, I'd use "thank gawd". I never used it much in talking, but, i've pretty much excised it from my vocabulary...and/or I stop myself before it comes out. Hypocritical for you? Nah. Those uses are nearly akin to using it properly in vain.

I say “heaven forbid” and have never had a religion.

I say "Jesus fucking christ" some, well, when I'm on the road with the maniacs. And I don't thank god for anything. If that phrase should escape me, it's probably because I'm exasperated about something and there will more than likely be a "fucking" in there somewhere.

I say the phrase, "Jesus titty fucking christ " a lot. Does that count?

I was making an Atheist Video for YouTube and caught myself doing it. I had to cut it out for just getting crap from everyone for just using a common saying. It is too bad that is likely to have come from both communities.

Yes. I use these phrases on occasion.
I'll try to use "Oh My Goodness" depending on the company, mostly out of respect.
I've often use the phrases ironically, or facetiously.
Wherever I can, I substitute Chuck in place of God; he prefers to be called that, or so I've heard.

I've changed to "thank goodness". Covers pretty much everything and goodness is something to be grateful for.

Mainly just taking god's name in vain

Yep. I do sometimes

Nope ...never.

oh my god
holy shit
god damn it

Damn, I thought you were Ghandi by you profile photo
