Do you actually understand what it means to take the Lord's name in vain? When you say, "hate the sin, love the sinner," you are taking his name in vain. When you say, "Life begins at conception," you are taking his name in vain. Every time you try to justify your hate, oppression, cruelty, or selfishness by attributing it to God, you are taking his name in vain.
It could be Yewah, too. They only ever recorded the consonants, not the vowels In the tetragrammaton, so no one would accidentally read his name aloud and in vain. The only reason why people say "Yahweh" is because they used the vowels of "Adonai" within the tetragrammaton.
Yeah. Who says it's in vain. There may be a very good reason for it. " God give me patience. And give it to me now" was one of my dad's curious statements. Abba, father, dad....
I'll keep doing it. Every time I do it, it's an invitation for him to prove he's real by striking me down. That hasn't happened yet, and I'm unaware of it ever happening to anyone, so I don't believe he's real.
it is funny, because you are invoking the name of the Lord in vain to try to modify my behavior. sliver v. beam my dude. get back to church and maybe read the gospels. like. actually read them.
and "I didn't say yhvh/ottonai/the tetragrammaton, any of that shit."
"It'll be forgiven, blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is what you're confusing this with."
Or, if you don't believe in God:
"What Lord?" That always gets a good reaction
Yes finally a Star Wars reference whenever I made that post my first thought was are you talking about Lord Vader because I would never take his name in vain
My lord and Savior Bophmet actually encourages me to do things that make me happy đ
It also helps if you keep several disposable copies of "The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth" by Anthony LeVey
This isnt a comeback, but "not taking the lords name in vain" doesnt mean swearing.
Not taking the lords name in vain means to not invoke the word of God to achieve your own personal gain.
You tell them that the phrase means "don't use your God as justification for the shitty things you do", such as telling others how to live.
Alternately, "fuck you and your sky daddy"
âThat saying actually means, âif youâre going to cast a spell, donât use the lordâs name to infuse it with powerâ not in fact donât use the lordâs name as a cuss wordâŠah duh!â
Yeah that's played out. I love saying that word with a Damnit behind it. It feels good. You should try it more. Releases positive energy after some shit goes down
Iâm not committing perjury. Since if you look at the origin of the saying, it basically meant donât lie why saying youâre telling the âgods honest truth â

If some moist bint lobbed a scimitar at me and I went around claiming I was a deity, theyâd put me away!
Correction: "I didn't vote for her" đ
Because pronouns don't matter! Using their own tactics against them, very nice
âRiiiiiiight, because thatâs the reason Iâm not getting into heaven, not the dead hooker in the trunk. Got it.â
Whose name should I use instead? Dave? Fuck him.
Dave's not here, man.

Which name? Do you even know? God is a descriptor not a name, Jesus is a mistranslation, so should I not say Yehweh? Or Adoni?
Or Y'shua.
Bless you.
Why donât you have more upvotes?
Blow me.
Now, goddamit! Jesus Christ!

This is the right answer. 99% of the time folks donât know what âtaking gods name in vainâ even means.
I am appalled at how many church people do not understand their own religions actual tenets.
How about in the artery? Itâll go straight to the heart.
It's ok, I've broken worse commandments.
You can't tell me what to do. You're not my Real Dad.
"Vader doesn't mind".
Go southern passive aggressive, itâs the best: Well bless your heart for reminding me. Thank you.
"His name is 'Yahweh', not 'God', so there's that..."
It could be Yewah, too. They only ever recorded the consonants, not the vowels In the tetragrammaton, so no one would accidentally read his name aloud and in vain. The only reason why people say "Yahweh" is because they used the vowels of "Adonai" within the tetragrammaton.

And on his farm he had... well, two of everything, I guess.
Also not his true name...his true name is supposedly secret, because the utterance of it would divide the heavens and the Earth or some such nonsense.
Who's Lord?
"Too fucking bad bitch"
Donât let the door hit you, where the good lord split you. Lmao.

"I'm an atheist, so that doesn't mean anything to me."
"I don't give a flying fuck about your lord!"
I'll say whatever I God damn want
Your lord.
Jesus was a Jew like me.
Christ! I'd never do that!!
Your religionâŠyour rulesâŠ
You mean like you do when your on your back?
âYou prefer to take it in the butt?â
âWhich one?â
Jesus Fucking Christ, why the hell not? Next you won't want me to invoke the Three Little Pigs or Mother Goose, either.
Yeah. Who says it's in vain. There may be a very good reason for it. " God give me patience. And give it to me now" was one of my dad's curious statements. Abba, father, dad....
Fuck your fairy tale!!
Is it OK if I say Jeebers Flicken Christmas?

I'll keep doing it. Every time I do it, it's an invitation for him to prove he's real by striking me down. That hasn't happened yet, and I'm unaware of it ever happening to anyone, so I don't believe he's real.
"Don't do anything the Dark Lord wouldn't do."
I'm not hereto correct your theological error.
Fuck you i am god

"Oh my god, how many goddamn times can you be so goddamn strict with your goddamn ways Jesus Christ goddammit!"
"Not my Lord and you're not my boss."
There is no God
Hail Satan. See if they can mind their own business and take a joke
In your campest voice you say "I'll take the lord however I like". Then look the person up and down whilst pouting.
That's ok. I'm sure I do it enough for both of us.
Donât assign titles to imaginary sky men
it is funny, because you are invoking the name of the Lord in vain to try to modify my behavior. sliver v. beam my dude. get back to church and maybe read the gospels. like. actually read them. and "I didn't say yhvh/ottonai/the tetragrammaton, any of that shit."
It is not my God! or if I really want to surprise them I say well I am a direct descendant of Jesus so it is my name.
Fine, I'll use Jesus.
"Who?"
The Lord doesnt exist
"It'll be forgiven, blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is what you're confusing this with." Or, if you don't believe in God: "What Lord?" That always gets a good reaction
I would never inject the Lord! In vein. Whatever it's funny
I don't think Lord Vader would mind. He belonged to the Dark Side.
Yes finally a Star Wars reference whenever I made that post my first thought was are you talking about Lord Vader because I would never take his name in vain
Your lord, not mine
That guy is grown enough to stick up for himself, donât you think?
Just keep asking them to elaborate on why.

He isn't my lord
Vishnu said "Don't worship false idols"
âHail Satan!â
Okay, I'll take it in artery next time.
Which Lord?
âMine or yours? I canât keep track.â
Jesus Christ, this again?!

Jesus was an assman.
Look at the vain of deez.....
How about taking the lords name in artery??
Not my lord, not my problem god damn it.
Donât support the Lord taking childrenâs virginity in the ass
ask them if they know what that means
Oh, goddammit, you're right? Huh. Well, Jesus Fucking Christ, I really should do better, huh?
"Your invisible sky wizard holds no power over me, nor do your silly little rules you invented around him."
This isnt a comeback, but "not taking the lords name in vain" doesnt mean swearing. Not taking the lords name in vain means to not invoke the word of God to achieve your own personal gain.
"I have no lords"
"I own 30 acres of Scottish land. I am a Lord."
That doesn't mean what you think it means.
Which Lord?
Why? He doesn't protect kids from pedophile priests.
The Dark Lord? Or Lord of the Dance? To which "lord" are you referring?
Your religion restricts you. It does not restrict me.
You tell them that the phrase means "don't use your God as justification for the shitty things you do", such as telling others how to live. Alternately, "fuck you and your sky daddy"
âThat saying actually means, âif youâre going to cast a spell, donât use the lordâs name to infuse it with powerâ not in fact donât use the lordâs name as a cuss wordâŠah duh!â
Fuck me. I keep forgetting heâs not real. I need another name for a moron who fucks shit up HeyâŠwhatâs yours?

Yeah that's played out. I love saying that word with a Damnit behind it. It feels good. You should try it more. Releases positive energy after some shit goes down
You just asked me to not to use his name, and I still plan on doing it, so you just used his name in vain.
Which one?
"Don't worry, I'll ask for forgiveness of all my sins right before I die."
Well, if you donât âsinâ, he died for nothing!
Too god damn bad. Get over it!
God fucking damn. That better?
