As America is a Christian Nation.
Subjective,
Provocative,
Divisive,
Insensitive,
Non-representative,
Etcetera,
Etcetera.
Oh my GOD!
Poly you're officially a Christian.
And that's politically correct.
Don't blame me,
Blame Reece 101.

I'd argue that 'oh, my lord' and 'oh, my gosh' were examples of PC versions of 'oh, my god'.

I don't understand the question,
I'd imagine people calling to a deity, be it their's or their cultures, is common enough in history,
But that's just a blind assumption on my part.
Oh My God! They Killed Kenny!
Oh, sorry, wrong forum.

I counter with the supposition that they’re layered. PC upon PC. You can’t escape it.

What exactly would OMG be politically correct for?

@RationalMadman
It’s equivalent to saying happy holidays instead of Christmas. OMG is ambiguous.

I'm not following, it's very offensive to devout religious people because it uses god's name in vain.

@RationalMadman
God shouldn’t have a stupid name then.

Offence is essentially make believe.
One does not offend,
One chooses to be offended.
There is money and gain to be made from being offended, on an industrial scale.
F**k free speech and freedom of expression.
God isn't the God of Abraham's name.
