I have been hearing this phase, 'Oh, my god' very often in school. I wonder if you students know what you are saying? Sometimes when we watch television, we should not learn and say and copy whatever we see. This is very important because God does not like His name to be used in whatever ways we like.
This is taken from the Bible.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
Exodus 20:7
This verse in the Bible clearly says that anyone who uses His name or call His name with no reason, will be punished! This is quite serious. In other words, if you say, 'Oh, my god!', God can punish you because you are using His name in vain.
So students remember, instead of saying, oh, my god, say, oh, my goodness.

I am very agree your opinion.We should worship our God.
Are you Christian?
Albert,
Yes, I'm a Christian. Are you one too?
Dear Faith,
Thanks for sharing the correct usage of these kinds of spoken English. I totally agree that we cannot use the name of the god always. But when you are happy of feel excited, you can say "Thanks God" I think our father in the heaven will be very happy because you always remember his name in a good way.

Tam Sir,
Thanks for the reminder that we should thank God. It is important when good things happen to us or when God answers our prayers we should say, 'Thank God'. So students when you get good marks remember to say, 'Thank God!' or 'Praise the Lord!'.
you feel you will very God in school?
