Why do some people think that saying Jesus's name in vain is okay while saying God's name in vain isn't? Yeah, God is our Lord but Jesus is still a higher being.
Not that my religious view matter in this question but I am not Christian which might explain my perplexity to the situation.
In class today we were reading a play and my teacher announced that if we come by a profound word we do not have to say it. A student in my class came across "God!" as she was reading out loud and replaced the word with "Jesus!" because she claimed saying God's name in vain is wrong. I know this girl is Christian.
I completely agree that we should not use God's name in vain but why should Jesus's name be any different? I of course snapped at the girl and asked about the situation. She could not give me a straight answer so I'm wondering if someone else can. Or was she just an idiotic high school student (link)

Jesus represents the more human part of G-d, accessible to people. That is why it is more acceptable to use Jesus. However, neither one is okay according to my beliefs, but some people have different beliefs, and the one stated above is a common one.
