So, I'm sitting in the library, and the seven-year-olds are every other situation calling out, "Oh, my God!"

It's so wonderful. Although, they really don't care what gods are, they help keep the faith just the same...

What a wonderful example of brainwashing and child abuse, thank you for providing one so clearly.

WTF? Sounds to me like they're repeating a colloquialism they've heard in other places. Like saying, "Cool!", "Dawg!" or even"Holy crap!"

7-year-olds say all kinds of things (including the "darnedest" things). It's just an expression and it's not brainwashing.

Or did I miss an implied smiley?

Does it warm your heart equally when you hear them exclaim "Jesus fucking Christ!"?

I'm an atheist and I say "Oh my God" and "Jesus Christ" all the time, they're just expressions which convey my state of mind and have lost all meaning or religious significance for me.
