I tell you when I hear it it goes through me like a knife. I hate hearing people bellow out 'oh my god' ' jesus christ' <--- or that one with an F in the middle. Many times I've spoken to my supervisor who says Jesus Christ all the time that it offends me, yet rather than listen to and respect that he makes and excuse and says he can't help it. Well he can't pronounce my name properly and he calls me something else (as I told him to if can't simply say Naomi - he has a nickname for me instead) then he should be able to refrain or at least try to refrain from spouting out profanity in the name of the Lord.
I mean I think sometimes if I was muslim or hindu there'd be more respect, when you're an out and out christian people think we can take it all on the chin.
What I don't understand is with these people, they don't believe in the Lord yet use his name to curse, you never hear them say oh Allah, oh Hare Krishna or Vishnu do you and they probably wouldn't, so why do that with my God?
Also how does God 'react/feel' when people say his name in vain. To him is his a sin, is it mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
