It probably depends on the initial wording. If you just say "I'm going to....." then it's mocking. "I swear that I will....." and there may be mild divine grumbling. "I swear by Humakt's beard..." and you've picked the wrong deity to piss off.
I've heard of a few cases of self-imposed geases: I won't do X until I've achieved Y, sort of thing. Setting the limits of the divine displeasure in advance. Hmm, that's a thought, one of the Swords PCs has one of them, and we may be about to hit it.
