Forums - General - Do atheists say Goodbye?

As you may not know, the world "Goodbye" is an abbreviation of "God be with ye" so now that you know that, why do atheists say it? Shouldn't it be "FUKRELIGIONGODDOESNTEXISTIMAGOGETMADONLINEANDACTANDMAKEANDTELLEVERYONEHOWEDGYIAMONLINEBECAUSE-

in reference to KH3 release date

That was in the 16th century. I think its definition has changed a little bit since then.

Most athiests including myself come from religious backgrounds so its natural to use religious terminology since its ingrained from such an early age just like i say bless you when someone sneezes its more force of habit than anything conscious.

Sure. Where I live atheists even say "Grüß Gott".



Why do religious people celebrate the Winter solstice (xmas)? Or why are they off on Sundays?

The meaning of things change. I know muslim people who celebrate Christmas coz it's sort of a national holiday now. I celebrate it too (well, I gather with my family) and I certainly ain't a Christian. No shame in that. Yeah, we also say "Oh, my God" in English, etc.

Pretty silly OP.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I actually find myself saying "god damn it" and "jesus!" when things are going crappy. I've recently tried to curb that tendency and use the South Park future atheists of replacing God with Science in all of these instances. Kinda fun but doesn't quite roll off the tongue like the classics.



...

Do christians use ishtar's holiday of sex and fertility? Including the bunny and egg hunts?



Sounds like an interesting fact you just learned today, and needed a way to make a thread about it :)

I agree, Atheists can be annoying as fuck, and no...there wouldn't be world peace without religion (the stupidest thing Atheists say)...but wasn't really worth a thread.
