Depends on context. Amongst your mates, fine. Work.Poor form really.

It’s a common expression for occidental atheists. You’re not being discriminated against because of your race or religious beliefs by any chance?

This forum is going to hell in a handcart

It was in a private email/bloggy set up by the uni to allow students to ask questions of each other and share ideas.

I merely posted that I was “hoping to hell that I didnt have any critical incidents”, which was in response to being asked to write a reflective essay on a critical incident within the last 4 week period.

who did you get pulled up by? could it be seen as blasphemous?

you’re basically appealing to satan that something doesn’t happen. if you’re batshitcray enough to believe all that guff, it’ll get your shirt right up. speaking as someone who’s worked in the US, where a surprising number are batshit crazy enough to believe all that stuff.
