Christ, What an asshole.
I completely missed this. Good god, Asshole doesn't even come close. Tight, sore-covered, oozing, festering, gaseous, asshole, maybe.

It would be blaspheming for YOU to say that but it isn't likely that it is for them to do so even in your own system of values.
When you use the word "Christ" it has a particular referent which is most likely different from theirs. They cannot blaspheme UNLESS they are referring to "the Christ" and also believe in the divinity of "the Christ", if you see what I mean. I might help to illustrate it like this; if I were to say "Jesus, what an asshole" referring to someone named "Jesus" (a common name in the SW btw) it could no be blasphemy.
"Good god" has a similar status with the additional factors of their being so many gods which might be intended and "good" can mean a lot of different things. But in this case it is just an expression meant to amplify the degree to which "asshole" is inadequate as a description with no theological intentions at all.
But if I had to list some examples of good gods right now I'd go for Chac
or Ganesha. Everybody loves Ganesha.With his lightning axe, Chaac strikes the clouds and produces thunder and rain.
I just like being helpful.
