I don't know, but that's a good question!
My ex-boyfriend used to say "ungodly" as a compliment, too, like, "You are just ungodly smart."

Because the original meaning of "aw(e)ful" is: inspiring awe.
So it's a rather impolite way of saying something is so "terrible" (another word that used to convey the overwhelming power of the almighty) that its dread-fulness (ditto on dread,) is so extreme that it compares to the unspeakably intense emotions inspired by the touch of God.

God knew that people would blaspheme his name which is why he gave the third commandment in Exodus 20:7

That is using God's name in vain.
I don't say that.
Thanks for making us think>
