I use terms like 'God only knows' and 'Back when Adam was a lad' all the time, but I'm certainly not lending any credence to Christian mythology! It doesn’t really ‘offend’ me, but don’t you think the whole community should cease saying religiously based comments and quotes? Doesn’t it only ratify their beliefs and codes?
