I totally get where you're coming from. I guess I'm just not as sensitive and I don't take things too seriously or get offended too easily. When I say 'omg' I'm not saying it to be degrading to God. To me, it'd be like someone saying to me, "Oh my, Brittany" after I've done something crazy, or dumb, or funny, etc.
