I sing Christmas songs in Summer, although I "hate" Christmas...I had as a Christian as well.  I also hate Christmas songs at Christmas.  They're really best in the warm months.

Forgive me website for I have sinned ;)

Let's see, I say "God forbid," and "Bless you"

I yell at the sky when frustrated (but no longer think there is someone up there to yell at.)

 

Errrrr...

Oh I stone the infidels and bask in his radiance and fury.

No... wait. I don't do that last bit.

I must say/shout "GODDAMNIT" at least 10-15x a day at work.  But to be fair, if my goddamn company would put together a better goddamn database, I wouldn't have to yell goddamnit so much.

 

Also, aside from "motherfucker" or "cunt" I think "goddamnit" tends to raise the most eyebrows, which let's be honest, is the point of muttering cusses under your breath to begin with.  It relieves a little stress, but mostly it lets people know that you are NOT HAPPY.

I answer to the name Jesus. Whenever someone exclaims “Jesus!” I reply with “Yes?!”

That's cute.  Use the right tone and you could scare the shit out of certain people.  Sad

I often say things like goddammit and holy s***, and i hate it every time.  I resent that I live in a world where religion has had enough power that even a non-believer can't help but use these words.  They have their own meaning that, to me, is removed from religion, but that doesn't change the fact that the expression began as a believer's phrase.  To be honest, though, I was less likely to use these expressions when I was still christian because I felt like I was taking the lords name in vain, or being disrespectful.  So while I hate using the expressions, It's also a slap in the face to god and what I learned in sunday school and I can enjoy it quite a bit too.  I only wish that using the phrases showed other people my true disrespectful motives instead of creating the appearance of me being a god-fearing christian; using god's name in vain has been soo bittersweet.

I frequently take the Lard's name in vain: Goddammit, Jesus F'ing Christ, etc.  I just think of it as taunting God.

 

I also feel a little guilty when I like a work of art that has an obvious christian (or other religious) spin on it.  This usually happens with music and movies.

I read my horoscope daily and sometimes feel tempted to ask people what's their sign (bad habit!)
