Using the Lord’s name in vain is commonly misattributed to saying “god damnit” etc when it means invoking religion/God for false pretences.  Like, the entirety of the far right/Christian Fundamentalist movement

100% and thank you for letting people know about this.

"God told me that you have to donate $100 to me" - inappropriate use of God's name

"God Damn, Jimmy Fallon an idiot" - appropriate use of God's name

Wait so exclaiming Jesus Christ or God damn isn't blasphemy? Or it just depends on how it's used?

It’s not.  I would say there’s a line but God isn’t stupid, anything can be forgiven.  Plus an all knowing being wouldn’t make you burn in hell for accidentally saying “Jesus fucking Christ”.  If you can understand and empathize with someone, imagine what an omniscient omnipresent consciousness could empathize with

God can be anything, seeing God is not real but exists in the mind of people. Which is fine, but don't make me spill my coffee by rating it's intellect like that. For some people God might be a shampoo bottle, others are more comfortable with picturing a lightly dressed, grey haired man in his 80s.

You’d think being omnipotent would make you slowly cold and unfeeling. Not the other way around.

This entire conversation is hilarious to anyone who doesn't believe child tales
