My computer is so slow I am cussing at it. But I wonder if a computer is seen as a false god, and if I cussing at something that is evil, is this a sin? Just wondering

You should not take God's name in vain. There are so many people doing it now that it is becoming common, but it is still wrong.
I would check out why my computer is running slow. You may have a virus There are free downloads available. Spyware Blaster, SpywareCatcher and Adware SE. Just research questions to find all the help you need to correct a slow running computer. Then you may thank God and not cuss His Holy Name.

The "God" in "God dammit" doesn't refer to the object you're damning.
"It started out as: "God damn it" This was considered using the lords name in vain because people were really calling on God to damn something or someone. Then it just turned in to a common phrase. Technically it is still asking for God to damn something though, and thus the Christians are against saying it."

Taking the name of God is a deadly sin.The computer is not a Deity.

That's funny!! I don't know how many times I have called my computer all sorts of unseemly names!
But to be safe, do a virus scan, and check for spyware.
spybot is a good and free download!

Maybe God makes an exception for computers. He is forgiving.

I JUST FIGURED SOMETHING OUT!!!(or remembered)
In Islam, if you curse someone(swear at them/it) the curse goes to that person, and if that person doesnt deserve it the curse goes somewhere else or up to the heavens; and if Heaven doesnt deserve it, then the curse goes back to you!!!

well technically yes. your taking the lords name in vain which is a sin. but our sins are of course forgiven so if you feel guilty about it and pray for forgiveness then you are forgiven.

In my opinion,because all is damned in this world, you have done nothing but state the obvious.
