My sister and I went to a suspenseful movie - we both holler at the same time "F&%K" and "Jesus Christ!". I'm the Atheist and I yelled Jesus Christ? Makes no sense - and we did a double take. It's literally just how we have learned to express ourselves. As a Roman Catholic she doesn't swear - as non-religious - I can!

Imagine how the doctors feel when they have just saved a life, and god gets all the credit. That would piss me off!

Why would her god make a little creature of which she is so afraid?

Unfortunately religious colloquialisms have permeated our language and culture. Colloquialisms are not usually literal in meaning. But, I don't think you would be out of line if you politely said, "you cna thank me, until I came god let this critter run all over your house." If you are polite, customers can hardly complain, and you are unlikely to get in trouble for it. However, who knows she may drop the that colloquialism form her everyday language.

I would have dropped the mouse and said: Tell god to get rid of it! Have a nice day!

Are not people's habits funny! But then again, she anointed you. Start wearing a nametag “God”.

It's just another stupid thing people say out of habit. I'd be pissed if she said something like since God helped you I'm not paying. Otherwise, I'd get on with it and pat myself on the back then go myself a treat to celebrate my coup.

God sees the little mouse fall, LOL.

I seriously doubt that she was actually thanking "God" just using an over used expression that has been a part of the venacular for a long time.
