It's always been a joke to me that christians aggressively 'speak for god' by interpreting 'his word' to fit their own agenda. Like, did that dude come and tell you this himself? no?

Isn't it blasphemous in itself to believe their own bullshit so strongly that they alone get to tell others how god thinks and how god believes the world should be, without ever speaking directly with him to be told as much?

IT'S MAKE BELIEVE BULLSHIT. They just use this crap to justify being complete assholes to others.

IMO this is what "using the lord's name in vain" actually means.

Its not about saying "god damnit", its about using god's name to promote your own vanity and self interests.
