This discussion and symptom could be unfolded onto explainig many ummm.."misunderstandings" that inflate into major saga, but we won't do that here today.

Robert - that's true.. not an immediate penalty.. but there are consequences that a person has to endure due to this behaviour in the long run. Mariana - yah.. it's not that the person says it unconsciously and without caring anymore.. it is the effect it produced among other people who have to listen to it. JohnL - that's the problem with some people now a day.. even if they don't believe in a higher power, using his name in vain does not justify their use in such way.

The person who uses these terms has done so so many many times it looses its intrinsic value and is nothing but air to them...not knowing how their words can affect others or even their own personal faith... :flower: I think it becomes a habit after a while.

The actions you live your life by should be what is judge. I don't evoke the name of God very often, so it's not something I really care about. I just find these kind of conversations silly, is all.
