cursing God

Reviling the almighty

Cursing God is the act of speaking profanely or irreverently against the divine—expressing anger, blame, or defiance toward God.

In religious contexts, it's considered among the gravest sins: Job's wife told him to curse God and die.

The phrase appears when someone holds God responsible for suffering or injustice, rejecting faith in a moment of despair or rage.
