You shall not take the name of your Lord God in vain.

This  one is easy to skip over. Yet there is nothing so serious as misusing someone's name. Just look at how incensed RBB was when I innocently adopted Testero! We invoke the owner of the name when we call. Romeo and Juliet was all about surnames. Scripture says "at the name of Jesus every knee shall bend". When we use the name of God to back us up like in court it gets very serious."I swear by God I am innocent your honour". 
OMG is too common by far. Like Jeez or Crikey. A more serious one for Christians is to make claims about what God says or does. "God told me to..."  Or "the bible says God says..." Or "the bible tells us to give money to...for...".

  1. “Oh my god” is the most commonly used phrase in porn movies (so I’m told). Are the actors breaking the third commandment?

  2. In that case it would probably be a ten pin strike.

  3. "Today's blog is written by Robert Testore" you say but then, in the post you say
    "Just look at how insensed (sic) RBB was when I innocently adopted Testero!"

    I guess that's what's known as a double whammy. You steal the name and then cannot spell it properly.

    2. I changed the name of the post. Nobody noticed that I had slipped into the protestant numbering. As I continue this very popular series I'll abandon any numbering system!

    1. Mind you, given your proclivity for spending at music shops, card worship(p)er might suit.
