And so for something lighter in these times of social stress.
Atheism and the English language.
I have often encountered 'OMG' and 'My God' being said during moments of disbelief and surprise.
Thus, I will propose that at least us atheists replace 'My' with 'No'. Just a simple change, but perhaps it could catch on.
So when you encounter something that would normally warrant a 'My God', try slipping in 'No God!' And in your text speak, ONG instead of OMG.
Go on, give it a go, I dare you.

You forgot the comma in the middle, and of course I use the F-word as a comma.
One could say, Holey Shit! Then it's just shit that is full of holes rather than some sort of sacred turd.
Wholly shit, how about that?
