Atheist Exclamations
Sorry if this discussion is duplicated.
I, as most of you, am atheist, but find myself saying thinks like "Oh my god!". I recently saw Monsters vs Aliens, and found very funny Dr. Cockroach Ph.D when he exclaims
"By Hawking's chair!"
I find that is a very good atheist exclamation (even more that Dr. Cockroach is voiced by Hugh Laurie) and decided to think other possible atheist/scientific exclamations, like:
"By Darwin's beard!"
"By Sagan's eyebrows!" or maybe "By Sagan's turtleneck!"
And these I don't like so much, since sound kind of religious:
"Good Science!" / "Oh my Science!" / "Science help us!"
I may not use this a lot on real talk, but I have used a couple online, on tweets and Facebook, and I like them.
Do any of you use something similar? Can you think of any other exclamation?

Haha I just use random gods be they completely made up recently or completely made up thousands of years ago.
Examples: Andraste's bosom! Zeus's beard! Krishna's testies!

I used Oh My Zeus for quite a while, but got tired of it. These are excellent!

Now if we are cursing using scifi slang, I am more of a browncoat so I'd use "gorram" and if I could pronounce right the Chinese cursing in Firefly I'd curse in Chinese all the time.

I heard someone recently say, "Oh my lack of god". I liked that. Otherwise, I find myself saying Oh my god all the time, too. I've been looking for something to replace it with. Maybe this will give us a plethora of exclamations to choose from.

I just got done watching Spartacus, they liked using the phrase "Jupiter's Cock!", probably not the best example, but may help in brainstorming something.

Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?
