If it's fatal why are there still atheists around?
Huh???

*laughs* Depends.
Do you mean it? If you truly mean it as an affront to God...then yes.
All the same, it also depends on what you believe in. If you believe no God exists, then what harm could blaspheming do?
Blessed be.
(Besides, in the end, supposedly God forgives us all who will take it, right?)
In short, my friend, Truth is relative.

The answer depends on how much you care about how much you offend those around you. While I have been known to take the Christian Lord's name in vain on occasion, I don't see an issue with it. People say, "Holy Cow." all the time, and that can be misconstrued as blasphemy as well (though I don't think it usually is).
I don't think it's wrong, and i don't think it's right. I think that if your beliefs say you shouldn't, and you follow them, you shouldn't Blaspheme. But, if you don't have those boundaries of faith, then you have to ask the question, "Is this socially appropriate in this setting?" Usually the answer to that question will answer your question.
Now usually independent of your religion, there is something in that religion about overindulgence being a bad thing. If you find it fun and do it just because it is fun, and frequently, then you are breaking that rule of moderation as well.
I mean you probably shouldn't scream "God ----- (pretty much anything that isn't positive)" at a Christian retreat.
Personally I try to avoid angering those around me if I can (people will find something to be angry about if they want to, I don't need to help), if that means cussing less, or not saying some things in front of certain people so be it. It all comes down to audience for me. Hope this helped- if indeed you wanted help. (short answer: Sometimes)

It's fatal. The unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Mark 3:29
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Luke 12:10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

To seriously address this question I don't think it is, in the sense you are referring too.
I am not religious people, so don't e-mail me please showing me all the verses in the bible that say its wrong. I have been down that road before.
But seriously I think your enjoyment comes from seeing peoples discomfort. Personally I don't through around the "God D@&^ it's" not out of fear mind you, I just don't choose to. Being a person that has dabbled in language studies I don't know why the church has mandated words as forbidden as the entire idea is kind of ridiculous. Maybe things to keep your mind busy with the mundane so you wont ask the bigger questions that cant be answered by the churches.

Very very wrong. You will pay for the fun you are enjoying now with getting your skin burned in hell fire over and over again.

I have to agree with you. It's fun.
In theory, though, in the bible God said not to misuse his name. You could probably consider it polite to respect his wishes, lol. (Pardon my lol'ing)
Besides, there are a lot of other fun words (F bomb, anyone?) that don't take god's name in vain. You can even go old school and say something like, "Oh, doornails" if you're feeling creative.

blas·pheme
–verb (used with object) 1. to speak impiously or irreverently of (God or sacred things).
2. to speak evil of; slander; abuse.
–verb (used without object) 3. to speak irreverently of God or sacred things; utter impieties.
obviously...IT IS WRONG. A SIN.
