what do you mean? something like "damn god, why did this happen.." ? hmm.. don't know if it's like that, I don't have a real religion...
But I believe if you are a real deep religious christian, then you won't blaspheme, too, would you? Smile

yeah, i constantly hear people using God's name in vain, in the Bible, one of the ten commandments states: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

People don't take that prohibition seriously any more. You can hear people say, "Christ!" , or "Oh, my God!", as expletives evry day!
On the other hand the muslims daren't even say the name of their prophet without saying some kiss ass blessing after it.
Go figure
