Isn't it bad to do that or whatever? A commandment or something?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah. Not one of the 10 Commandments, but: "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. Exodus 20:7 NIV

it actually is one of the 10 commandments, "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain"

I'm the UK, at least, it has become simply a colloquialism - I'm an godless heathen, and I use them all the time, it's kinda part of the culture here.

sadly, people do say such things flippantly. but saying God or Jesus' names as cuss words is very degrading and wrong. I will not EVER use them like that.
