It doesn't offend me to hear it. I don't allow my child to say it simply because all of our family and extended family is very religious and it opens a whole can of worms when she says curse words. Personally I don't say it - mostly because it was ingrained into me as a child and also I feel that I can express my displeasure in a more refined way by actually using the words that express it instead of an oath.
The curse words using a name of a deity offend christians and religious persons simply because they feel they are obligated to defend the use of the name of their god. They feel that their god's name is sacred and shouldn't be used in any sense other than in reference to them. If their don't defend the name of their God then they become responsible for it being said. It is all a part of their form of worship. I don't approve of them ripping into someone for saying it but also I think we should respect their religion. Just as an athiest would like them to not talk about their God all the time.
