Well, I consider it quite disrespectful of God to use such swear words,
and therefore offensive to religious people, thus I don't think that
even non-Christians should use such swears (e.g., I'm Christian, but I'd
never use Allah to curse, and so I'd expect the same curtousy from
non-Christians as well as Christians), actually it's kind of ironic when
an atheist says something like "G**d***".  Especially when someone says
"G**d*** this chair" or some other inanimate object - do you expect God
Himself to come down from heaven to damn an inanimate object to Hell?
