See, this is one of those inconvenient situations where us Atheists really lack appropriate and proportional ways to express our feelings about things.
"oh your fucking god" works wonders
...That's genius. Thanks!
yeah, after a while i just started worshiping an obviously made up joke god just so's i could get good blasphemy back in my life
For all that it is in truth far more terrifying, I freely admit that expressions like "Oh, in the name of False Vacuum Decay" just doesn't land the same. It's s shame, really. Modern scientific curses like "may all your Li-Ion batteries grow centimeter long dendrites in seconds" are much more fearsome than they immediately appear.
I mean, "may your tap water turn to dioxygen difluoride while you're taking a shower" would make even Satan go, "okay, stop, just... Jesus, stop."
Yeah if I start cursing people with foof showers I'll get put on worse lists
