1. I say, "Thank goodness" when something goes the way I
want it to go. When I believed in god I said thank god, but not anymore.

7. I believe in the letter "Q," but I don't think "Q" is responsible

for what happens. So, I don't blame or praise "Q."

On edit: I'm not trying to be confrontational, just silly. :silly:

4. When speaking directly to God, you tend to be sarcastic?

5. My dear Boojatta!
I say "Thank God" which means to me that I thank the deity for whatever...

It's more emphatic to me than "thank goodness."

:hi:

8. Much like Poster #6 above me, I also say "Thank the Gods."
I also say "Gods damn it" these days too. Yeah, I know. I'm a dork.

11. Yes. Yes I do. Frequently.
Though I usually only use it around my friends who are also BSG fans, or my dad, who first introduced me to the whole sci fi genre when I was about 7.

14. Jeebus. I always replace God and Jesus with Jeebus.
The night that Simpsons episode was first aired, we had a dinner party (rare) and all watched the show. It's become a classic pop culture reference in our circle, which I'm happy to see is still used on DU.

19. Thank God", expressing thanks to God,
because while I'm not sure anyone is there, if there is, then s/he was involved in whatever I'm thankful for.

21. Lately I've been saying Thank Gods.
But, I just got through watching the entire 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica, so that probably has something to do with it.
