so it's either a sarcastic
"oh god, what an idiot"
which really doesn't mean anything in terms of god, it's just jesus_as_profanity
an expletive
but it's more interesting in the context "oh god why hath thou forsaken me", implies a certain amount of desperation or at least sincerity in an attempt to communicate directly with god
dramatism or whatever
or in the same vein it works pretty well as preacher-speak which similar, but not really at all the same thing
sonorously proclaiming "oh god almighty, creator of the heavens and the earth, we
dedicate unto thee this holy..."
which is why i used to loathe praying out loud... (specially in a circle, popcorn-prayer & stuff) i always found there was a sort of implicit judgement of everyone else's prayers involved... i never quite knew what to say, what was politically correct, preferred to talk to god in the silence of my own head
and now this blathe is longer
