Nah. It's just a meaningless cliché that is currently doing the rounds. Back in the 1930s we used to say, "Gee whillikers." By the 1960s it was "Holy Dooley." Now it's "Oh my God." Each generation develops its own method of saying something that sounds appropriate without actually engaging the brain.
Where I live we say, "Fair dinkum." :)
Never fear. It is -----INSANELY------ difficult to offend things that don't exist.
No, it doesn't. It only offends the thumpers.
If you believe in the Abrahamic God ... YES. It violates the Commandment against using the Lord's name.
Unless you are using it in a prayer, such as "Oh my God, hear my plea..."
Only if it is said in irreverent language. Some persons use the terms “God” and “Lord,” also “Jesus” and “Christ,” simply to add emphasis to speech, or as a substitute for a curse word. Other words such as “gosh,” “golly,” “gee” are simply euphemisms, derived from “God” and “Jesus,” and are therefore also objectionable as interjections. (Exodus 20:7; Matthew 5:34-37)
What people say and do may irritate us at times. Even so, it would be inappropriate for a Christian to reply with angry or abusive speech. Says the apostle: “Really put them all away from you, wrath, anger, badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk out of your mouth.” (Col. 3:8) So although the speech of others irritates you, the wise course is to control our spirit. (Proverbs 14:29; James 3:11)
