"GODDAMN IT!"
does not offend god. neither does he feel slighted by this.

"goddamn" is the truncation of a curse. "god damn you to hell." it isn't cursing at god per se.

4. I'm ok.
Pissed off that it's supposed to snow here again today. Yesterday we got the promise of spring, today we get slammed by winter. :(

3. Blasphemer.
"Look. I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.'"

5. Are you sure?

I mean... I don't think so... but I was taught that any use of God's name other than respectfully talking about it was taking their name in vain.

I guess it's the 'respectfully' part that matters here... I'm really not sure.

:shrug:

6. I can just imagine God, up in the sky
looking down at all the killing, beating, robbing, lying, cheating, war, torture, arson, stealing, and accidental death and dismemberment. And he suddenly jumps up and says "Oh dear, hfojvt just cursed again."

It takes more than this to upset him.
