Mrzzy - "Ooh, I've been trying for many, many years now to omit the terms god, damn, heaven and hell and it's a bitch, let me tell you."

And it's really, really silly of you to even be concerned about it at all. These are common cultural expressions that have arisen out of thousands of years of past human civilization, they are NOT statements of religious doctrine. They are generic emotional statements that serve to convey emphasis and nothing more.

When I say:

"Goddammit!" when hitting my thumb with a hammer...I am NOT referring to a deity. I am registering a strong emotion.

When I say:

"God help them..." I am expressing a hope that things will work out well for them, I'm not referring to a deity.

When I say:

"God, it would be wonderful"...I am merely emphasing more strongly how wonderful it would be, I'm NOT referring to a deity.

When people gasp "Oh, God!" during sex...they are NOT referring to a deity, they are conveying emphasis in the moment.

And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.

The fact that you, Mrzzy, choose to make a specifically religious-anti-religious-based issue out of these common uses of the word "God" (and various other common words) in contexts that usually have little or nothing to do with anyone's religious faith indicates only one problem: YOUR mental problem. You are obsessed. You're obsessed with something that does not even have the meaning you ascribe to it, and presents no threat to anyone. You're like Don Quixote, only there isn't even a friggin' windmill there!

It's ludicrous for you to waste your time and energy over something like this. It's as silly and pointless as if you had decided that all Scottish cultural things were somehow a threat to humanity, and you went around complaining about kilts, sporans, claymores, Scottish names and words, and everything else that ever came from Scotland. It's that ridiculous.

It's the kind of attitude that truly merits the not very kind comment "get a life".
