Question

How is that me using your god's name in vain?  I am literally saying 'Oh MY god.'

OMG, that is totally a good point, BTW.

I just see it as a phrase of astonishment.  It's not cursing or damning anything or saying we have a horrible world or anything like that.  Usually I think we should be sensitive to the beliefs of others, but I don't see how this could be offensive.

If you don't believe in God then you are not bound by God's rules. Still, you will reap what you sow.

Gal 6:7   Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  


 Gal 6:8   For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

You are a complete idiot. Other people have different beliefs. By saying oh MY god, you could be referring to any mainstream myth, or a lie of your own creation. They are all equally false, including your jesus.

Why don't you say Oh my self, since you are your own god.

Isn't it funny how people always want to justify themselves when they say things that offend others?

Based on your sentence, "Oh" is your god. And you have made it clear that you don't believe in the other god which is not "Oh".

Now it is a typo that it should be "O" rather than "Oh" ?
