God damn it, it is saying Goddamn what ever I am doing right now that is pissing me off. It is not saying anything about God. It is not degrading God, it is not hurting anyone. Saying Nigger, is telling the black person you are directing it at that they are property, not human, less than you, ignorant, and many more things. God damn it, is something you say when you stub your toe. You would not say Nigger for stubbing your toe. You say nigger with the sole purpose of hurting someone or degrading them.
There IS a fucking difference.

I would have to say that they are different but equal. You are jokingly calling on the omnipotent God of the Universe to use his almighty power to curse your toe or your situation.
That is like waltzing in past the secret service, whipping everything off President Bush's desk, and demanding that he convene congress to declare full scale war on your dog for crapping in the living room.
You don't think anyone could be very offended by you calling on their God to do the following to your toe?
1 : to condemn to a punishment or fate; especially : to condemn to hell
2 a : to condemn vigorously and often irascibly for some real or fancied fault or defect b : to condemn as a failure by public criticism
3 : to bring ruin on
Saying 'God Damn ______' implies that you either 1. Don't believe there is a God, or 2. Believe that he is impotent and incabable of hearing or heeding your request. This is bound to ruffle some feathers in certain circles.
*edit: sorry, didn't realize this was such a dead thread, posting anyways*
