or maybe "allowed" isn't the best word for it...but is it likely...that someone who is an Atheist would refer to God in ANY way, shape, or form...other than to say he/she doesn't believe in Him... like "oh my God!"..."Oh, God"...."Lordy, have mercy!"....."Oh, Lord"...."God bless you"...or even simply "bless you" when one has sneezed (who exactly besides God is supposed to be blessing the person?!?).... and perhaps the argument would be that the "God" or "Lord" that they refer to...might not necessarily be the one most people do....but then again, doesn't Atheism consist of the non-belief in any type of god, period?? hmmmm....so yeah, someone let me know....if you're an Atheist and you can shed light on this....or if you know of one....and have heard them say any of these things....or if u just have general input as to if Atheists can say these types of phrases and still deny God....& so forth....

i believ that ALL yes i said ALL athiest have a little string of belief in them...they're just struggling...some alot more than others...but belief in God is something that is innate in humans....that's why no matter where you go, EVERY civilization has a belief in some form of God...Sun god...moon god...it doesn't matter how isolated from other cultures they have been...they all belive in something...isn't this strange because not all cultures have a written language..ect ect....it's like this becaue He set it up that way...the same way he gave humans the ability to speak and think...he made it speacial for us... there's a part of our brain that lights up whenever humans practice thier religuion...dancing, praying...whanot... oh yeah...like i was saying about the athiest...there's a string of belief in them because it's something that's innate...i'm serious they ALL believe....everyone does because it's wired in us...why do you think they are willing to get into discussions about not believeing in God?? it's more denial, not non-belief...they deny God, it's not non-belief...they are two seperate things... explain why they are willing to get into deep discussions about something that they don't ecven believe in??? seriously, though, would you be willing to get into a deep discussion about a monster that lives under my bed?? or goonies uinder your pillow? or the boogyman??? no because you know that these don't exist and you're not wired in your brain to believe it...you don't believe in them, you're not denying them...you simply don't believe so why waste your time?? atheist deny...they don't dis-believe like they think they do... 8-)
