[quote=Anonymous]I was raised Catholic and "Oh, My God" was okay in particular dire circumstances--you almost had an accident, you were just told you have cancer etc.--where it would be shorthand for calling upon God's help. Even Jesus used this expression: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" In French, "Mon Dieu," is pretty much universally used, including among children and could often be translated into an English equivalent as "my goodness" rather than "My God." I tend to say "O my gosh," but I probably say OMG about once a day and confess to pretty liberal use of "Good Lord."[/quote]
