Can't? Jesus Christ, I do it all the time! What are you gonna do about it?
I'm afraid you're in for some serious smiting.

I prefer "Christ on a bicycle!" or "Holy shit!" -- a Canadian friend used it all the time, before I was a Canadian. Ah the glorious days of youth. Holy shit! They're all gone!

It's so wonderful. Although, they really don't care what gods are, they help keep the faith just the same...
Aren't they supposed to be quiet in a library?

God? Cool. at least they're not pointing to everything and saying it's so Gay.

I'd really like to have some more ideologically appropriate things come out of my mouth. But we swear like we speak. The mannerisms, pronunciation and profanity are learned responses.

I've tried 'Jesus Christ and his All Nurse Band!' and 'Christ and All His Paperclips!' but they're just not satisfying. They don't fully convey my ire, wrath, frustration or whatever.

Why? Seriously? What is this 'big deal' to me?
Show me that there is a deity, i'll show him the respect he appears to deserve.

Maybe i'll drop Goddammit for 'Goddrownthemallincludingthebabies.'
Or perhaps 'TwoSheBears!' instead of anything about a concerned skybeast?
And instead of Christ Almighty! i'll shout, what, UnnecessaryBloodSacrifice!

It certainly isn't!

Are you trying to make a point of some kind or just enjoying the fun?

Didn't you come here to preach to the heathens? Missionaries used to get tortured and eaten, so don't take it to heart.

After listening to the schoolkids on my bus to work talking interminably for half an hour without saying a single thing of substance, a few "Oh, my God"s would be a relief from the "Like"s and "Whatever"s.

... so I'm all just so like, whatever, and then he like just laughed and said like, this really funny thing, and we were all, like whatever, and then...

:huh:
