If You really are an Atheist. Why do you still cry out to God when times get tough?

When your loved one is dying and no medicine can heal them.

You beg God.

yet.......Claiming there is no God..?

Yea, I hate hearing "oh my God", and "Jesus Christ!" too. Why are you calling His name at all if you don't believe??

@iamnikki Because they're part of the common language. Same reason why theists and non will exclaim "holy f*ck" without necessarily thinking about any otherworldly orgy I guess.

@Elessar I do get that it's part of some people's speech but why those phrases in particular... Why not just say jeepers!, skittlebop or anything besides Jesus Christ!

@iamnikki I guess it varies region by region, and language by language.
