Oh, I see... So it's like Italian blasphemy: you channel the hurt and go for something like this (YMMV):
la madonna troia che sputa la sborra di cristo sulle stimmate!
(by Mary the whore who spits Jesus's semen over his nail holes!)
Yes, very similar in spirit and use, though *slightly* less explicit
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
