You don't know what a figure of speech is?
yes. that was the first thing that crossed my mind.
i've heard it used a lot (and i "get" your sarcasm :)... but i rarely
hear it used by atheists. i was just checking and trying to
understand you more fully... so we could communicate a little
better than we do. tanks for confirming the "figure of speech"
usage.

when a professed atheist uses it, it throws up a flag or a
question mark. so why use it?

i used to use, "thank deo" because deo doesn't mean anything...
it's just a word i made up to substitute for the word God. nobody
knows what that "God" word means either so you might as well
use a word that doesn't carry a lot of christian and other religion's
dogma-laden connotations with it that distract from the simple
message of gratitude you're trying to express, eh?
whew... that was a run-on sentence, eh?
...and an abundant redundance of the word eh, eh?

i sorta quit using deo it when i realized it sounded too much like Díos.

i just search around for some other way to express wherever the hell
i think my gratitude for gifts that anonymously fall into my lap should go. :-)

just FYI... i'm not an atheist. i'm not anything.
