Why do they always have to take things so literal? When I exclaim 'FUCK' I'm not suggesting I want to Fuck and the same applies to 'SHIT' or 'MOTHER FUCKER'. If they spent more time following the message of love that their fictional Jesus was purported to have brought as his divine message to them, instead of nit picking chapter and verse to justify their hatred then the world would be a better place.

Except my grandmother, that'd elicit a "jesus fxckin christ, you guys" from me.

OMG ..they should let it go..jesus..its not easy to rid yourself of old habits for God's sake! God almighty we are not robots!

It says a lot about them that using their Lord's name in vain is a sign of belief. Isn't there a rule against that somewhere that they should be following.?

How do they know you were referring to the christian god? You could have just as easily meaning Odin or Zeus or any number of other deities.

They try to play "gotcha" because they have nothing else.

Most curse words seem to involve deities and sexual/excretion functions.

I used to redirect high school student cursing tendencies to learning new vocabulary; they could only curse if they used such words as, "Oh, excrement," "that's just copulation great," or "male bovine feces!"

I had Thai children saying "You water buffalo!" in English, instead of the Thai curse word that means the same thing, etc.

Point out that your curse never comes to fruition.

It’s amazing that a Western country contains people that worry about blasphemy. I don’t think most N.W European societies really give two fucks about saying “Jesus H.Christ” “For Christ’s fucking sake.” I don’t understand this obsession with god in America. It’s like believing in leprechauns. I feel it’s incredible that people have to self-censor and have concerns about “coming out” as atheists.
I feel sorry that we even had to create a community for ourselves. It’s just very alien.

I have an in-law that liked to correct me by uttering “G D”!
I would reply “don’t be goddamn stupid”

2 things about “G D”:
-what are you, 8 years old? Get real...
-there’s an all powerful being that created the universe and life and watches over all. Somehow, saying GD is cunning enough to trick it and you’re clever enough that you’ve found this cosmic loophole. Get fucking real...

Btw, it didn’t take long for her to never interrupt me with GD again.

Tell them you're saying gawddamn it..........................
