    Nope. Thanks for asking!

    No. The reason is that it is an accepted concept and one thoroughly established in society.

    I am not arguing the logic of the phrase - to do so would be to say that "All gods are false, so that is an oxymoron."

    Not oxymoron - redundant.

    No, though it is a bit superfluous given that every god is false.

    No. There is only ONE true God. The other's are false, that is, they are made up by the fallible imaginations of men.

    No, it's a tautology.
