Weird thing is that even after deconversion I do not take the lawd's name in vain. Pretty silly using imaginary beings names as cuss words. You should use Aphrodite, rolls off the tongue better, will confuse fundies and at least she has boobies.

My father was like Ralphie's father in A Christmas Story ... he would never cuss in church or in public for that matter but in the privacy of his home he could put out a blue streak of invective, particularly when dealing with uncooperative machinery. Naturally I am of a similar bent, although it seems as if I was more affected than my three older brothers -- perhaps because my father had given up the fight against his improprietous tendencies by the time I came along. At any rate, while I tamp it way down in public, my inner dialogue is quite salty and runs the gamut from impious to scatological. A casual observer to my stream-of-consciousness would probably pronounce me far angrier than I actually am; it is simply a coping mechanism for frustration or stress, and I think that's all it really is for most such folks. A safety valve. The only reason I work to gradually purge my invective of god references is that it tends to reinforce the idea that the universe owes me something, which it does not.
I like that one. It's supposedly the shortest verse in the Bible (John 11:35). Used as an interjection, it conveys, all at once, a double facepalm and the utter hopeless stupidity behind whatever needless human-caused CF you are commenting on. It is really elegant, and offends practically no one while getting a rather nuanced point across.
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
Jesus H Christ on a popsicle stick is one I've heard many times......
