WOTMQ: Skewed Priorities
Mormons I knew back in the day used to say, "Oh my heck!" It always cracked me up. There are certain things that I never cared about even when I was deeply religious. One of which was saying, "Oh my God!" or "God damn it!" I couldn't imagine a God who would be bothered by someone saying "God" this or that when "God" wasn't even His name — at best, it's a stage name. So much stupidity! But for some people, that was the most awful thing one could do — or so it seemed.
Apparently, that's also a problem for some Christians, as you'll see in this video.
Thanks again everyone! I really appreciate all your support. I hope you've enjoyed this month's selection! If not, I have only my dogs to blame. They just take so much time with the walking and the feeding and the petting, etc... It's labradorious!!! See y'all next month. You're all the most beautiful people ever. And you smell really good tonight.

When I was little we used to say Gol Dangit.
Are you sure it wasn’t Goy Dangit to indicate your non-Jew status? 😉
I think it’s funny that they say “holy smokes!”.
I prefer "holy shit." But I have two dogs.
In grade school my slightly older brother instructed me that though we are not allowed to swear, we can get around it when heated by shouting "Vuck You" and then flipping someone off using the ring finger -- do it quickly and they might not notice the substitution. Although I was 8, I didn't take his advice, as it seemed out of the spirit of our parent's directive not to swear. Guess which one of us is now the atheist and which one is deeply religious?
Well… when I get truly irked, I don't resort to deities: I curse: "¡Hijo de la grandísima puta!" Fits with our current Commander in Thief.
Cheeeeeeses Crust! Uh… is that too vain? What if I don't use such phrases in vain, but with all intent and purpose? Come to think of it, which "name" should we avoid like the plague of Egypt? "Great Osiris Almighty!" "Good Hunaman!" "Tláloc Damn!" "Holy Ostara, Mother of Spring!" "Bloody Elohim!" "Oh, My Thor!" It reminds me of the joke about what atheist scientists exclaim when having sex: "Math…! Math…! MATH…!"
I say, "Oh my dog!" And you left out the great Ju Ju at the bottom of the sea. Thanks for commenting. You know how much I enjoy it.
