OMG, OMG, I'm famous!!
OK, not really. But the video below shows my blog and several of the blogs I read, if only for a fraction of a second.

thanks for answering a question that I've been wondering about. that is, do atheists limit themselves in how they swear or curse? Your "Oh My God" takes care of part of it. How about "Go to hell" or, "To hell with it." Do you say that? Or "Goddamnit"? How about that one?

I don't really consider OMG cursing. Some atheists, do, others don't. It's part of our language and it's difficult to find a substitute that conveys the same meaning.
I don't remember every using hell very much, even when I was a believer.

Makarios - Please see a fairly recent post by Philly Chief covering some of these issues. @#$%%&*!!!!!!!
Personally, I'm ok with religious swearing. If you think about it, WE are the ones who can do it without fear of Holy Retribution.

Thanks, John. I was looking for that post, but for some reason I couldn't find it, even though it's obvious from the title.
And it may not be obvious to people that don't know me very well, but that first line, "OMG, OMG, I'm famous!!" was parody. I don't know anyone who actually talks like that except as a joke.

No problem O'Girl. I don't have many talents, but I'm pretty good at remembering where I read things. Once in a while it lets me down, but not often!

Interesting. This thread has the ideological purity reministant of a Communist Party meeting during the Soviet era. Stalin was also an Atheist, BTW.

Oh wait, is "fuck" considered on the same level as God and hell?

Enough said.
