Blasphemous Rumours Lyrics

I don't really think this song is offensive to Christians at all.

"I don't want to start Any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's Got a sick sense of humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing."

I believe those lyrics are meant to come from the mother's point of view. It just seems to me that when things go wrong, everyone wants to blame God, and that's exactly what the mother is doing.
