I've been spelling out "God", as well as using it as a prefix for 'expressions of frustration' since I first learned to cuss.
No ill effects to report.

The Fench soldiers called the English "les goddams" because they heard that expression so frequently emanating from the English lines. It apparently started in the 100 Year's War. It didn't seem to hurt the English at all since they went on to win about 90% of the battles against the French. The Brits referred to the French soldier as "Jean Crapard" or sometimes more crudely as "Johnny Craps".
