My mum was brought up a catholic but says "Praise fuckin Allah" to swear. That means a good mood. "Jesus Fuckin Christ" = bad mood. Think she's agnostic these days.

Technically saying “oh my God” is a sin so it’s not like believers should be saying it.

These phrases have been ingrained into Western culture; it’s not as if you must be a Christian to utter them.

A lot of words are rooted in religion, for instance goodbye/good-b'wy was originally short for "god be with you".
Most languages are rooted in religion so you end up saying things without thinking of them.

That's me. It's out of habit. I doubt anyone actually thinks about anything religious when using those terms.

I would not say anything with jesus, i dont know a good replacement for hallelujah but i do use oh my gosh instead of oh my god. i would not blame someone if they said oh my god because sometimes its hard to think of a better alternative, and i still say the pledge of allegiance as it was originally written.

They’re common phrases. It’s more of language thing than it has to do with religion.

They're just figures of speech, not meant to be taken literally.

Mostly it's people who used to believe in religion. I was a Christian and I was made to read Bible and recite prayers by heart which I know till date. My boyfriend is Christian and I still go to church and recite prayers with him, so that he doesn't feel alone. It's out of habit that sometimes I say, 'Jesus' or 'Oh my God'. It's more like a phrase to me.

I had an elderly woman walk up to me once when I was waiting for my mother to finish checking out at Walgreens. She said, "Can I tell you something?" Without waiting for my reply, she launched into a long, religious harangue, with the phrase, "a thousand years of peace" sprinkled into it. I have no idea who she was, what she wanted, or get her to stop. She finally turned and walked away just before my mom came out of the store.

Many people don't believe in GOD but beleive that there is a spiritual world filled with beings.
They beleive them to be angels.

On here. And some who quote phrases from the bible, lol. For instance.."the truth shall set you free". It's ironically funny.

Yeah ,I say some of those things out of habit ,to me they are just sayings

I have and and still am. For most, its just expressions.

do you beleive?

I know, we're all guilty. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

No. I do know one person who still believes in God but is massively disillusioned with all religions. I normally don't hang out with people who don't believe in God, because I find them so extremely negative.

I use all of those and i don't believe in God.

Geez! What?

the English phrase,, Good Bye is a contraction of God Be With YOU
in Spanish? adios, is ( go) "with god"
Britain? Bloody comes from By Our Lady
religion is embedded in our culture and language
a near inescapable Virus

every person I ever met do that.
