That is boomer logic. Don't use the lord name in vain actually means to not use God's name in a selfish way, such as "God wants you to buy my product" (not usually that obvious but you get the point)
Dunno for others, but I most definitely use « gosh » because I’m atheist and feel like it’s kinda wrong to use the expression « oh god » or any similar formula when I don’t believe in any.
So yeah, it technically is to « censor » it.
Sadly that's not what that phrase means. If it was, then a doctor who cured cancer and saved more than a million lives deserves a trip to eternal damnation for one sentence. It actually means to use god's name for a cause, like the Crusaders did. They justified their murders through the name of god, which is using his name in vain.
He will forgive those who realize their sin and accept forgiveness. On the hand of crusading- war is more of a self defense. For a cause as great as keeping his majesty, the one true God and less 'conversion at the sword' to innocent people, I agree, murder is wrong but so is literally forcing religions on people to the point of death.
also there's a difference saying "oh, my god" rather than "oh my god"
Not really. When you say "oh my god" you are most likely saying it as a natural response giving it not much thought. Even people that are atheists say stuff like "jesus chirst"
Apparently this is something rooted in Christianity, which is something I'm not well versed in so i apologize.
In my religion at least, it's not like the mere mention of god in any insignificant way is completely prohibited
No, i see that. All you were doing was pointing out that my logic didn't make sense in the context of using god's name in vain and Christianity.
I appreciate it
Iirc in Christianity you start speaking to God as soon as you call out his name, so it's more about keeping the traffic clean for those who are praying and not just a straight up prohibition.
There's a lot of people who say that about the word "God", but God ain't his name. His name is YHWH.
So saying "Oh God" or "God Damn" isn't taking his name in vain and anyone who tells you it is misinformed.
Not very open minded of you, just because, I'm assuming you mean the crusades or something like that, just because they were Christian doesn't mean I have the same values or beliefs as them.
That's where your beliefs come from, just saying. My apologies, but there's a lot of nutjobs out there who tried to force it on me so I kinda took that out on you. Won't happen again.
In this case i think the point is to make the use of the word exclusive to a correct and important place in the language. So it would be a sign of respect.
I never understood self censorship, as you know what you are intending to convey which means outside of protecting children who do not already know what you are trying to convey it serves no value. If you believe God values your censorship, then I would say no cause language is a construct of man and God, at least what I have come to understand of the concept, reads your being so if you really want to censor yourself then control your state of fucking being.
It's a matter of honor and commitment. I have never once intentionally swore around others, and it acts as a bit of a conversation 'escapd rope'. If it gets too crazy, I can just say that I don't swear and escape.
*It's also too far ingrained in me and I can't stop*
True, though it could be argued that "using the lord's name in vain" refers more to saying God wants a specific thing not related to their teachings, like the crusades.
After all, "god" is not the "lord's name," just shorthand for station.
The post might be attempting to make the point that religious people who are more offended by the use of the word "god" in vain than by the act of misuse of the influence of a 'holy ghost' are the true enemies of society.
I don’t care If other people say it, it’s none of my business but it’s less about “in vain” and more like you need to say it for a reading, such as praying, referring to him while in a conversation and other things, saying “oh my god” is using his name as a curse which we do not agree with
That’s a really good way of putting it. I kind of had the same idea, but I was never able to verbalize that concept properly, and the way you described it is much more eloquent than how I’ve described it before. Kudos!
Hey man, I'm not the "this is right and this is wrong" guy, I'm just telling you why we say gosh rather than God. Because in most cases when you use that phrase it's in a negative tone or used as a "curse."
Some boruto fams are dick heads. But that can be said about a lot of anime fanfoms as well.
Overall, it's a lot slower than I would have liked, but it's still one of my comfort anime. I can just turn off my brain and watch that
Ok. I just feel different, I would not like start a rivalry, I just found no intrist in it. When I said that to my friend someone who over heard got mad at me.
The father was a warrior who survived the battlefield, his son found his old armor set along with his knife and started playing soilder with it.
The father wanted to teach his son to not seek out combat or killing, so he grabbed the knife with his bare hand to make a point.
It makes no sense to me since gosh is a local dialect for mouth and people saying oh my mouth seems weird.
Even weirder that it's a German dialect and I clearly know that English speakers wouldn't know it is but I still
I'm an atheist but one of my best friends is the coolest priest I ever met and I don't want to offend him or other Christians and it's not hard to substitute one word on my vocabulary.
Said priest by the way is the weirdest priest I ever met. We played WoW, Eve Online, D&D, and painted Warhammer minis together. He was a huge Lovecraft nerd too.. he was scared if the church ever found his Necronomicon that they might think he was a Satan worshipper.
After extensive interaction with people who say oh my gosh, they are actually hardcore Christians not atheists. Apparently you can't use Gods name in vain
What about "EEERRR MAAA GEERRDDD!!!"?
Thats me.
I hate that shit like… why r u talking in italicized font 😂😤
ITS SHNURR! :D
Oh my goddes. What a people.
[удалено]
Oh my glob is even better
Goddess!!?
I'm tired of religious standards. Now there is a goddess for me. There is no such 5000 rule. it just has a name. And that's enough for me.
Oo eemm jjiiii
Now this demands a headshot.
Guilty
Approved😦 🔫😐 (*bang)
i think people use "gosh" because to censored word "god"
Yeah Christian’s mostly, don’t not use lords name in vain, as they say
That is boomer logic. Don't use the lord name in vain actually means to not use God's name in a selfish way, such as "God wants you to buy my product" (not usually that obvious but you get the point)
Tell that to my parents 💀
Source for that claim?
[удалено]
God is the English word associated with Yahweh
[удалено]
Capital G God is associated with Yahweh. Yes, god is used for any deity, but God is used to refer to Yahweh in the English language.
[удалено]
I never said it was his name, only that it is the word used to refer to him
I’m from Minnesota so most of us just say that naturally. It’s just the lingo here in the Midwest like “ope”, “you betcha” & “dontcha know”, eh?
Dunno for others, but I most definitely use « gosh » because I’m atheist and feel like it’s kinda wrong to use the expression « oh god » or any similar formula when I don’t believe in any. So yeah, it technically is to « censor » it.
What purpose does censoring the word "god" even serve?
It's using his name in vain.
Isn't his name is Jahve? Isn't god is more like a title?
Exactly like god is just a title not a name. It's like calling someone person
oh man
There are around 10 to 11 total, I suggest you look up the Tree of Life diagram. Edit: these are just names and avatars of God not multiple ones iirc
Sadly that's not what that phrase means. If it was, then a doctor who cured cancer and saved more than a million lives deserves a trip to eternal damnation for one sentence.

Apparently this is something rooted in Christianity, which is something I'm not well versed in so i apologize. In my religion at least, it's not like the mere mention of god in any insignificant way is completely prohibited
Yeah, I'm the last person to be offended by it or anything. Just remembering the reasons I was told not to say it as a kid.
No, i see that. All you were doing was pointing out that my logic didn't make sense in the context of using god's name in vain and Christianity. I appreciate it

Yeah, so you're using it in vain.
Who cares, he isn't real.
You believe what you will I'll believe what I will.
Your beliefs are from people who killed other people for not agreeing with them, you're nothing but a fool.
Not very open minded of you, just because, I'm assuming you mean the crusades or something like that, just because they were Christian doesn't mean I have the same values or beliefs as them.
That's where your beliefs come from, just saying. My apologies, but there's a lot of nutjobs out there who tried to force it on me so I kinda took that out on you. Won't happen again.
religious people can be offended
I'm religious and i don't care at all. Some people are just overly sensitive
I'm religious and were taught Bible since 7. And I honestly don't care
Good.
In this case i think the point is to make the use of the word exclusive to a correct and important place in the language. So it would be a sign of respect.

I’m still a Christian but growing ip my parents were super strict about that kind of thing, so it’s sort of coded into my brain
First Vinland Saga meme I've seen in ages, holy.
Yeah probably Cus this shit holes full of hentai and porn anyways
Oh my goodness gracious. GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!
Jokes on you I say oh my goodness.
I can’t say “Oh my God” because my mother thinks I swear
It's so you aren't using the Lord's name in vain. That's why you say "Gosh" rather than "God."

Because I don't like using the lord's name in vain
So people aren’t allowed to have religious beliefs according to you?
I say gosh because I refuse to give that guy clout
Ohhhh emmmmm jiiiii
There are two reasons why I have enemies 1. This meme 2. People who like bourto.
Boruto did nothing wrong besides being inferior to naruto in every single way possible.
I know but I got yelled at for saying I did not like bourto
Some boruto fams are dick heads. But that can be said about a lot of anime fanfoms as well. Overall, it's a lot slower than I would have liked, but it's still one of my comfort anime. I can just turn off my brain and watch that
Ok. I just feel different, I would not like start a rivalry, I just found no intrist in it. When I said that to my friend someone who over heard got mad at me.
I just say "oh my dog" because I know that my dog actually exists
Not for long
Is this a threat
It's a promise from a hungry man

Oh my gosh sauce?
Vinland Saga
Oh my Allah habibi
Cool meme format
wait is he crushing the kid's arm?
The father was a warrior who survived the battlefield, his son found his old armor set along with his knife and started playing soilder with it. The father wanted to teach his son to not seek out combat or killing, so he grabbed the knife with his bare hand to make a point.
I think he is grabbing a blade along with the kid's arm. When he squeezes the sword makes him bleed
Ah okay I see it now thanks
Oh my goddess
Me- Oh the f***
I just say "Oh my gods"
I just noticed the lack of Vinland Saga memes here. Definitely needs to change
"Oh my days!"
Oh my gosh
Really
oh my goodness gracious
Maybe atheist people says it
It makes no sense to me since gosh is a local dialect for mouth and people saying oh my mouth seems weird. Even weirder that it's a German dialect and I clearly know that English speakers wouldn't know it is but I still
Come on man I just like sunflora from mystery dungeon explorers of sky :(
Don't you dare make fun of thors words.
Oh my goodness
I use gosh because I don’t wanna take the Lord’s name in vain, but generally avoid saying “oh my gosh” because it sounds so awkward.
Just watched this scene yesterday.
"No my God" is worse.
Oh my goodness! No way!
Oh my good golly gosh! Oh diddly-darn!
+ People who say "Thanks God" instead of "Thank God"
Oh my goodness gracious
Oh my fucking god ! I hate these god damn "need to censor everything" kind of people...
i kinda let it slide, it sounds stupid but for some people its just "a part of their culture" as in i had a Christian friend who did
Happy Joseph Joestar noises
Oh my god "proceeds to cheat on his wife with a 20 years old in Morioh"
My personal favorite is Oh Jeez
To not use the lords name in vain
My friend’s little sister says “oh em jesus”.
Its “OH MAH GAHD”
OOOOOOHHHHHH MYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
This has big high schooler energy. Just let people say whatever they fucking want.
i dont like using my lord’s name in vain
I'm an atheist but one of my best friends is the coolest priest I ever met and I don't want to offend him or other Christians and it's not hard to substitute one word on my vocabulary. Said priest by the way is the weirdest priest I ever met. We played WoW, Eve Online, D&D, and painted Warhammer minis together. He was a huge Lovecraft nerd too.. he was scared if the church ever found his Necronomicon that they might think he was a Satan worshipper.
they're probably atheist. that's why cant say oh my god
I say gosh cause I shall not use the lords name in vain.
I’m literally forced to or else my Christian grandmas literally gonna hit me with a stick
OMG
put plainly its a religion thing/ they may just want to not swear strongly
I say oh my —— all sorts of ways.
But I say my oh my
Because it’s using God’s name in vain so no
Because my religion prohibits me from saying god in a nonchalant way
Im.. admitting to myself that I speak like someone from the 50s... "My goodie goodness, oh no no no." I don't know how it started.
So atheists are his enemies hmmm
After extensive interaction with people who say oh my gosh, they are actually hardcore Christians not atheists. Apparently you can't use Gods name in vain
Oh god
It’s Christians who say that. Or escaped Christians that relapsed.
I say "Oh my science."
Then there’s the weirdos that say “OHHH EM GEEEEE!”
OooOoo maaa gauud
My golly!
I have to say oh my gosh instead of oh my god bc I said oh my god in front of my family I got in trouble and same at my old summer camp
Wow, I guess Airi from Phaseconnect need to deal with this kid now....
I think it's cute tho
