1.) An Atheist says it without thinking. It's something a lot of people say( in some countries I guess), we hear it and then we end up using it too. And no of course it isn't wrong, I'm sure some religious people think it's wrong if we say it, but they already think we're going to hell so who cares.
2.) A Christian does it for the same reason as an Atheist to be honest, if they thought about it they probably wouldn't. As for it being wrong, from a religious standpoint it probably is, according to me: no. |

I rarely say God damn it. But when I type it, I deliberately spell it out in full to make sure I'm blast feeming. It's no fun otherwise. _________________ K Michau
