Atheist sayings

[MaryPoppins]

I'm a bit conscious of this, I don't like saying things like 'for gods sake' [out loud]. I always go with the swear word option, usually 'for knobs sake' etc.

[d000hg]

That is a good one. I like that.

If you're a Pratchett fan you could also use:

"If I'd taken the other leg of the trousers of time..."

[xoggoth]

You forgot Jesus H Christ!

[EternalOptimist]

I used to use 'Holy Moley'

but since I became an atheist I use 'Wholly Moley'

[DimPrawn]

What about holy sheet?

I shout "Turin Shroud!"

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

• there but for the grace of god go I
• for god's sake
• thank heavens

These phrases are so much a part of our language and upbringing that I'd bet even that twat Dawkins finds himself using them occasionally. What are the atheist alternatives?

You see, the atheists admits there is a God, even if they don't realise it.

[SimonMac]

I usually shout Allahu Akbar at the top of my voice and and people get freaked out by my beard and rucksack, go figure!

[DodgyAgent]

The last two you can just insert a swear word.

Why not the first one?

[NotAllThere]

For the all faiths are the same brigade, "O Buddha". Handy for when you drop a rock on your foot, for example.

it sounds just enough like "Oh bugger" to work as well.
