    I dont think the phrase "....please god, muhammed, buddha, confucious, ra, flying spaghetti monster, unspecified higher being or nobody" is gonna catch on anytime soon. Best stick to what we know

    eh, that went out of window long ago thanks to Irish blasphemy law . Also try to crack a joke about Islam and you'll see how far your "free speech" goes.

    Sure "MILEY" used always say "Well Holy God" and guess what, he was a self professed atheist? Just habit, I guess, using these OIRISH SAYINGS,,,,,

    Voltaire was a deist. He didn't go as far as to say God didn't exist :p

    When did people start becoming so whiny at the merest mention of God or religion? :confused:

    May God watch over you.

    Just watching the news on RTE and caught that annoying president person at the ploughing championships doing her impression of a salt of the earth Irish person. "hopefully the economy will improve please god" or words to that effect.

    This crap begs so many questions. Just to ask one of them - does she thinks she represents only god believing Irish people? What about the huge numbers of non-believers?

    I don't care if our President has private religious beliefs but spare me the sanctimoniousness please.
    Mary Banotti, is that you?

    Maybe its news to some of you but there are lots of people who do not regard the phrase "please god" as "part of what we are".
    It's certainly news to me - I'd have thought most people don't really think about it.
    Can't really see where it was maintained that it's "part of what we are" either...

    WTF? Some people believe in God, some don't. Most people don't care what ye believe in as long as it doesn't affect them. It's a saying, when she says it, it probably has zero meaning and represents noone and even if she does mean it, so what?
    Even for AH that's a pointless rant and i'd wonder how anyone could get through their day if they even notice this stuff let alone be bothered by it

    I'm an atheist and I have to say I quite like "Please god" and all of the other Irishisms - who wants a generic language with none of the history or personality to match the country that speaks it? :cool:

    The president has to change her language to pander to non-believers?

    Way to generalise there Jakkass. You never miss an opportunity, I'll give you that.

    What's wrong with using common expressions, after all goodbye is a shortened version of "god be with you" Slán agus beanacht.

    She used the Lord's name in vain? Thanks for telling us OP. That's really shocking.

    In fact he even implied that God does exist: "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."

    However he held him/her/it/whatever in contempt:

    Of all religions the Christian is without doubt the one which should inspire tolerance most, although up to now the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

    Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world.

    The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reasoning.

    Every sensible man, every honest man, must hold the Christian sect in horror.

    God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

    It's not exactly an Irish only phrase anyway. People will come to realise this some day, insha'allah.
