Most people these days say "God Damn it" or just "Goddamn" but I was wondering how people who believe in other gods and people in other religions take their gods's names in vain?

I might be in the minority, but whenever I see these things in fantasy, I kind of find them a little trite and forced. I'm sure that many ancient people actually spoke that way, but I always end up reading them as a cheap effort to hide the modern phrase. That's probably more me than a statement about whether or not you should use them.
