why is it bad


Question Posted Monday February 12 2007, 5:20 pm

Ok when I'm mad I say OH MY GOD or JESUS CHRIST or when I'm surprised or something and people always say, don't say that! Is it because they hate God or something else?

Christians get upset by statements like that. Those phrases misuse God's name.

You are using God's name as though it means something like "Damn!" or "Shit!" God's name is MUCH more holy than words like that. It is a very big sin to use His name in that context.

Instead of upsetting Christians by saying things like that, use alternatives, like "crap" and "damn".

No, they don't mean that at all. See, when you say things such as, "Oh, my God" or "Jesus Christ" in that context. It's saying The Lord's name in vain, so as the person below explained, they would rather you say, "Oh, my gosh."

Saying oh my God is using The Lords name in vain, a majorly horrible sin, some people even call it blasphemy. they love God, so they would preffer you saying oh my goodness or gosh. They think throwing around words having to do with God is bad, i personally agree with that

hco_babe answered Monday February 12 2007, 5:27 pm:
its just the opposite. they actually love God, and get very offended when you take his name in vain. one of the ten commandments is "thou shalt not take thy Lord's name in vain" and many religious people take it very seriously.

No.
It's because you're using the Lords name in vain. Religious people may get offended.

It's actually the opposite....saying those things disrespects God unless you are praying...so they may be offended by those comments..
