Well, I'm well aware one can say blasphemies in any language, but what I wonder if it's common to insult the deity as an interjection or an exclamation.
It happens in my language, and there is obviously polemic between those who say it and those who oppose it (almost everybody does btw, including believers).
Those who oppose it say that it's a thing that happen only in this language, and it made me curious.
For example, if one is eating and accidentally bits his own tongue, it's perfectly normal that instead of cussing or saying something like "oh my goodness" he insults God or the Virgin.
It's something somehow rooted in our culture, and they often organise competitions for the most creative blasphemy.
What can you say about it?
