I was at work one night, and as always a customer got on my nerves. I was in the back fussing and said "God damn it". So this started a debate with one of my Christian coworkers who took offense to me saying it. The coworker knew I was an Atheist.
So I got the usual reply about how I should not say it and using the Lord's name in vain, and the usual stuff I hear on a regular basis. Then out of nowhere they began to debate my "Atheism" by claiming since I am using the Lord's name in vain then I still do in away believe in God and religion. Then like most typical Chirstians they wanted to debate me why I no longer believe in God and religion. And of course also would not let me get a word in edgewise. So after what seemed an eternity of the mindless debating or total lack there of. My reply was simple. First off the use of God damn it has nothing to do with using his name in vain, and secondly it is used in anger due to certain situations, especially if you live in the South. I have been using God damn it forever even when I was a Christian. And finally I told them unlike them I do not have to force my beliefs on others and not listen to what others are telling them. I do not force my views on the world down others throats. You believe in what you want to believe, even though it blinds people to the truth that no one wants to see, and I believe what I want to believe.
I am a strong believer in logic and reason.
