When I hear blasphemy, I vocally turn it into a blessing, both to repair, and to correct the person.  Jesus Christ...is The Name Above All Names, or, Is My Lord and Savior, or, Died for Our Sins.
Or G.D. ...is what He did to the fig tree when it bore no fruit, let that be a warning to us.  Etc, you get the idea.  It is a very direct way of addressing the blasphemy and the blasphemer without giving any room for conflict or retort.  It always silences them.  I do it all the time, automatic reaction at this point without missing a beat.  It's a very successful approach.

If it is someone to whom I am close enough that humor will be well-received --- and possibly make them stop and think --- I always say "God's last name is not Damn", or "God does not damn [whatever it is that is being cursed]".  Or if the Holy Name is spoken as a sign of surprise or to intensify something, I may say "are we having church now?".

There are some people who can't open their mouths without dropping the GD bomb.

True story.  A couple years ago I was on the phone with a customer service lady and she asked for my answer to the security question I had set up---

Lady:  "Who is your favorite historical person."

Me:  "Jesus"

Lady:  "You don't need to swear at me, Ma'am."

Me:  "No....That's my answer to the security question.  Jesus is my favorite historical person."

Lady:  "Oh.  Hahahaha.  I'm sorry, Ma'am.  I thought you were getting impatient and swearing at me."


Sigh...

Imagine--

Lady:  Who is your favorite historical person?
Me:  Mohammed
Lady:  Okay, thank you.

Lady:  Who is your favorite historical person?
Me:  Buddha
Lady:  Okay, thank you.

Lady:  Who is your favorite historical person?
Me:  Jesus
Lady: You don't need to swear at me Ma,am.

It's only because we tolerated it.
