Hi! I love to give advice, even thought I do not give out personal information. I have gone through so much in my life and I think and my friends constantly tell me that I give them good advice. Sometimes my advice can be a little harsh, but it's just tough love and I promise I don't mean to offend anyone!

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)

You are absolutely right. Here's why.
Christians believe in higer beings. Myself being LDS (or Mormon) we believe in three, versus lets say Baptists who believe in one being, three purposes. But in this doesn't matter. In the end, we all see these beings or being as a high power and we love and look up to them. The difference in these beings should NOT differ. Christians follow Christ. Christ is God's Almighty Son. One is NOT more important than the other. Any christian who believes this is just plain wrong. They say they believe in a man who was a martyr. Yet they take his name in vain as if nothing happened at all.
So you are absolutely right. Using one name over the other is wrong and any christian should be ashamed if they see the "lesser sin" in using Jesus' name in vain instead of God's. Hope this helps!
